One 2 Ten

One big rabbit was

sleeping under a tree,

Two clever foxes

looked at him with glee,

Three days back

they had killed a goat,

Four nasty hyenas

took it to a moat,

Five long days

 foxes get nothing to eat,

Six minutes or less

and there would be a treat,

Seven little birds

watched from the tree,

Eight feet below

there will be fun for free,

Nine warning calls

 the birds screamed loudly,

Ten quick hops

 and rabbit ran away quickly.
