The Fox And The Ox

A young fox

And a young ox

Both spring and spry

Were not expecting, that day,

To die.

they were the most inseparable around-

And insufferable.

Making trouble all over town,

Until one day the village said, “We must crack down!”

On this young bull,

Causing so much damage.

He causes way more than his pocketful

Of trouble

Every day.

And his friend fox.

Not even old pops,

The neighborhood good guy likes him.

“Yes, we could throw them in the lake as they can't swim.”

“It would be a good joke,”

Just for that day

The even worse folk

Of that town did say.

So they caught them both

In clever traps.

And although the ox and the fox made an oath,

Their captors only joked and said “perhaps,”

Before they threw them into the river.

And although they struggled so

And tried to keep their heads afloat

The evil trio just said, “Stop pretending, Let it go.”

Not realizing neither foxes nor oxen were able to swim.

A young fox

And a young ox

Both spring and spry

Were not expecting, that day,

To die.
