Which keeps me in rear,
I keep myself agile,
To make a dash fragile,
Away from the hound.
I withdraw from the sight,
Alert to take a flight,
Apprehensive of my plight,
I dare meet them straight,.
Far from the mound.
I take shelter in a hide out,
Amidst a thicketed cut out,
My heart races fast ,
My legs fumble past,
Very near the spot.
I run away in plight
As I hear the bark right,
I pant heavily,
As I see a stout bully.
A snarling dog bright……!
