Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 The Fox and the Stars


The Chippewa people tell of

How all the many stars came to

Be scattered through the sky above.

Ojishonda was the one who,

As ruler of starland, did take

A bag of stars and place each night

One star, but once for weary sake,

He took a nap, and with delight

His fun loving pet fox did throw

The whole bag of stars to the sky.

Ojishonda awoke, oh no,

His pet fox looked at him so sly.


Ojishonda, forgiving one,

Forgave his fox for having fun.
