There are a few Foxes roaming around our gardens at night.  Over time I had some gifts left by them.  Up the end of my garden I have found, torn clothing -  shorts, a t-shirt, underwear, a chewed  trainer and a sandle. Also balls and  even a toy car! 

These Foxes bring their families and make such a lot of noise with their screams and yaps too but they are comical characters too!

Mischievous Foxes

In the dead of night, I hear them

playing and chasing each other

screaming and yapping in the dark

youngsters watched by the mother

they've brought along a few items

collected while frolicking around

plastic pots, an odd sock or torn shorts

all left abandoned on the ground!

mischief over, now time to move on

so with a ruckus they're on their way 

this family's ready to take a nap

playtime 's over, soon be a new day
