sailing

the farmer and the fox one day

set sail in a sloop white and blue

no one saw them leave the beach

they were the boat’s only crew

 

they travelled on a turquoise sea

to places near and far

explored the world without a care

guided by the stars

 

until they came to para dice

(and yes, it was by chance)

where they stopped for sixteen weeks

while the fox taught the farmer to dance
