Also, Bill, meant to mention that a good friend of mine, the Scots but
now South Australian poet, Alison Flett, has written a series of poems
about foxes.

This was the only one I could find available online:

 *Fox*

 The thing is,

 can you even be sure

 you saw it?

 That even-haunched

 cool stepper,

 intent

 as a gunslinger.

 Now definitely

 not there.

 Despite dog dimensions

 he moves undoglike-ly

 An otherworld visitor

 daintily trotting

 from eucalypt shade

 down earth's stony path

 splayed tail almost

 independent accomplice

 From where does all that

 red swagger spring?
