street-fox is

 

brindle-backed beggar

omnivorous opportunist

singer of street-songs    sodium lit

disdainer of dogs

big-town barker

shitter of garden-shingle shit

 

street-fox is

 

switch-tail swagger

flash-harry-feral

shifty smoothy    shed invader

vagabond-venal

bin-bag bandit

take-away detritus raider

 

street-fox is

 

cautious cartography

city-savvy

private pavement pitter-patter

finders-forager

roughneck riff-raff

champion charmer    chat-up chatter

 

street-fox is

 

canal-bank-carnal

vulnerable-vicious

predator     prey     pest    player

rusty robber

fighter and fucker

stinker    stalker     long-term-stayer

 

street-fox is
