A chicken coop was swathed with wire,
from ground to roof, and even higher!
The foxes were stumped, they tried to dig,
more wire, beneath the dirt was hid.
The vulpines foxed, they all went away,
and ate some mice at the end of the day
The fence was sound, the hens within,
felt safe and warm, secure, but then,
the rooster let out a warning call,
and a sneaky weasel ate them all.
