Junior Words, 3



A High School Teacher’s Final List

List #1: (e) vixen, (f) edifice

The vixen sneaked inside the house—
This edifice held eggs!
She moved so silently along
On stealthy, quiet legs.

But when she saw the mother hens,
She paused a little bit.
“Should I eat unborn chicks?” she thought.
Her attitude was split.

But soon she did remember well
Her parents’ guiding talks.
“You gotta eat the stuff,” they’d said.
“Remember—you’re a fox!”

(And so she did—and so she ate.)
