Pauline's smile was broad and bright, she'd won the battle, hey!
From under hedges, over fences, in the pale moonlight.
Lives Pauline, our heroine, with hair of silver crown.
But those pesky foxes ruined it, with droppings and a chew.
Against the foxes in the night, Pauline's garden now shines bright!
With traps and tricks and cleverness, she made the foxes flee,
So here's to Pauline, brave and bold, with freezer full and heart of gold,
With her back garden paved so nice, she'd gaze with pride anew,
Pauline's garden's fox-free now, her domain in victory.
Her garden's now a peaceful place, where foxes dare not show their face.
She loves her cosy garden and her paving, oh so splendid.
So Pauline hatched a cunning scheme, she paid a man in traps,
A homemade pie, a quiche or two, her freezer's pride and bread.
But her garden's safe and sound again, a fortress of elation.
She feared they'd ambush her one day, while fetching from the shed,
In a quaint little bungalow, at the edge of the town,
The foxes with their beady eyes, they watched her every night,
Oh, Pauline, Pauline, the foxes made a plan,
To catch the furry bandits, and perhaps avoid mishaps.
Eighty-five and spry as ever, fiercely independent,
A tale of triumph, wit, and might, of how one woman won the fight,
To steal her quiche and fish pie, but she's a wily gran.
Now she watches carefully, for any new invasion,
The trap was sprung, the fox was caught, and taken far away,
