A dark night; lit in uneven flashes of lightning.
In the doorway of the chicken coop suddenly stands, - a shadow!

Fox like, - yet glowing red from within.
He walks past the rows of sleeping chickens, - and stops.

Before the rooster, - the ruler of the roost !
Who pretends to snore.

The fox devil produces a scroll from the air;
it is the contract the rooster signed years before!

"No", clucks Faust the Rooster. "I need more time, I need more wishes,
I need to use the barnyard bad,"

The Fox grinns. " gibblets " he whispers.

In the morning the farmer finds a pile of feathers
smelling unpleasantly of sulfur,
- and all the other chicken's feathers have turned white with fear.

Then 2 fbi agents drive up. Scully and Mulder! They -

- I have been asked by Dunkirk to stop this right now so I will stop this now and just go away. Sorry. Going now. Now
