The foxes lay where the wolves did not,
Oblivious, to the fact, that they both were dogs,
And rip each other's throats they would,
So blood was poured as blood does and should.
One fox met a wolf,
Them, meet a new way.
For the fox and the wolf were in love you see,
But in love, their destiny would not foresee,
For when they were found out,
Bloodshed came, with no doubt,
Both the fox and the wolf, they died that day,
And that was the day the rivalry went away,
And a dog was a dog,
No different,
Both frayed.
