The other afternoon we were working

and chanced to glance out and about

And there we spied these two fellows

ambling 'long their route.

 

The pair looked like trouble . . .

as here you plainly see,

the runt was shy and trembly

the other bold and free.

 

 

One hid behind the other

and played hide and seek

his sibling got impatient

and headed for the creek.

 

The scared one climbed the post

sister had already made her break

But we got both captured here

in case they're on the take ...

(They are masked, aren't they?)
