It wasn't the Boy who cried wolf, but the Wolf who coerced the boy to cry.

It wasn't the Boy who cried wolf,
but the Wolf who coerced the boy to cry. 

It was not the boy's fault,

for the wolf was old and wise.

Older than Mankind.

He knew to temper his hunger,

He knew, just how to make the boy cry,

And then, to always disappear,

 just in time.

So when the time finally came,

he knew he could feast on the poor boy,

completely undisturbed.

completely unrestrained.
