A Discofox Dream
Is meeting a kitsune
Bring on the fox fire!


Spoiler: show
I'm pretty sure that kitsune has three syllables.

Bring on the fox! Fire
the boring three-bear dance troupe.
The crowd grows restless.

Guardia Civil
Is, like the Gendarmerie,
No "police" to me.

Spoiler: show

Germany is one of the nations who, after bad experiences, introduced a strict separation between "military" and "police" in its constitution.

For I am the law!
Patience and understanding
Prevent violence please.

(For me violence is pronounced with 2 syllables, some pronounce it with 3)
Fate gives all of us three teachers, three friends, three enemies, and three great loves in our lives. But these twelve are always disguised, and we never know which one is which until we've loved them, left them, or fought them.

"Ambiguous" ain't

But... wrong thread, maybe?
