Miss lady fox
Has chicken pox
Stay away, stay away!
"Help me!" She cried
"Help me hide!"
Before night turns into day
The rider is coming! The rider is coming!
Quick! Run inside!
But, my, its too late
The fox's poor fate
Was that a daughter of rider has lied
I know it is hot
To hide in a *** but
you will be safe in here
"why not in a box?"
Said the chicken pox fox
"Why all the places, in here?"
Because I am a liar
Im daughter of rider
And soon you'll be made into stew
She cried
"You silly little girl, I have the pox
Why eat a fox with chicken pox?"
Chicken and fox! It all sounds devine! Now
Be quiet! Be quite!
Its time!
He's here!
