Unperturbed by the downward flow
That covers all life with a mask of snow
As snowflakes flutter blown from the sky
White drifts build up forming where they lie
An owl hoots and swoops upon it's prey
The rabbit squeaks and scoots away
It skittles into the warm burrow hole
All safe and sound such a happy soul
And up above the snow does fall
But bunny is curled in a fluffy ball
The screeching owl soars up so high
Too wise to waste another try
On a branch it perches waiting in a tree
A twisting head what can it see
A rusty fox out for a walk
Too big a meal the owl won't stalk
Now Mr fox sniffs all around
Very soon begins to dig the ground
White snow and earth it scoops behind
A bunny meal is on his mind
Twit twoo a ghostly sound
Keep digging Mr fox below the ground
Suddenly the rabbit flees
And Mr tawny drops from the trees
A rabbit meal a second chance
The sneaky fox it fails to glance
They swoop and pounce all three collide
That's how the owl the fox and the rabbit died
