The Fúfumal
THE FÚFUMAL
by Kate Gladstone
Fúfu, small rabbit, ____ fastest of hoppers,
Works in woodland ____ his ways of evil:
Field-mice he finds, ____ then hammers with head-blows,
Vexing the queen ____ of the Vanir folk.Down came good Freya, ____ frowning at Fúfu.
Said she to the warren-born: ____ "No worth I find
In your smiting of cheese-thieves. ____ Smirk not, but obey me.
To change from your ways, ____ three chances you'll have.
And if you change not, ____ then a nithing you'll be."...
