fox and hounds

ceremonial baboon laughs full at the moon and rain, fox and hounds let out to play; cunning acid drives his running thighs; tonight one anger will be denied.

Uncanny, the similarities with "Eclipse" But you have a baboon.

Well, you were never going to be able to get away with the moon's laughter running down your thigh. Nice attempt.

Why baboon? I assume it means the fox.
besides the dogs anger, who else has anger and why?
The one anger actually seems to imply one out of two or more. "an anger" would be clearer.

This would make a great introduction to something.
Love the suggestion of rhyme in this poem.
