Hey, it’s Vlad. As you all know, it’s my job here to keep everyone safe and productive. Sometimes I feel like a shepherd, just keeping an eye on my flock of sheep. It can be extremely exhausting, but I feel there is no reason to fret about my lot in life. Instead I just use my experiences to get my creative juices flowing. As such I wrote a little poem for your enjoyment. I hope you like it.
In a glen where the grasses do sway,
I’m Vlad the fox, leading the way.
I’m the shepherd, or so I believe,
My five furry friends will follow me, but perhaps I’m naive.
First there is Yuri, a devotee of buttery creams
He munches on treats and has sugary dreams.
“Come on, Yuri! Stay focused on me!”
But he’s lost in croissants and crullers, it’s really something to see.
Then Lena, the clever one, puzzles dance in her eyes.
“Come think like a fox Vlad, we need to strategize”
But I’m too busy herding, to heed her call
I’ll leave it to you, to solve it all.
Laika’s a whirlwind, so wild and so free,
“Let’s chase the moon!” she shouts with great glee.
I try to keep up, but she’s off in a flash,
While I’m left behind, with a case of whiplash
Sergei’s my buddy, with sweetness to spare,
How he shares treats and stories, a true friend who cares.
Here, Vlad, have a snack!” he offers with glee,
Because I’m a fox with a treat, I let out some pee
Then there’s Sasha, the queen of the lazy,
While we all run and jump, she just lounges, a bit hazy.
“Why rush?” she’ll yawn, sprawled out on the grass,
I wish I could join her, but duty won’t pass.
“Come hither, my flock!” I call with great pride,
But they’re scattered around, no need to abide.
“Yuri’s lost in pastries, Lena’s lost in thought,
Laika’s off chasing shadows, and Sasha, in sleep she is caught.”
Being a shepherd’s not quite what I planned—
Maybe I’ll sit down and just join this wild band.
So I leap in the fun, embrace the delight,
With Laika I dance, and we twirl through the night.
We scream and we play, a chaotic ballet,
A fox skulk united, come join in our sway!
We are noble foxes, of this there’s no doubt
I have nothing else to say, except Vlad out.
