Upon the green meadows Surrounded by hills Not far from where the squirrel sits There lives a little fox A perseverant creature With a coat red as autumn leaves His tailed tipped with some winter white And a cheerful disposition When the bugle sounds He knows that he will have to run With baying hounds upon his trail He scampers in the sun With cackling laugh and swish of tail He dodges snapping jaws Till at last the hounds are called back home Our friend the fox now free As the moon comes out that night A stealthy visitor, he creeps He sneaks back out the chicken coop With dinner in his mouth The farmer hears the scuffle And runs out fully armed He shouts and waves his arms about And fires off his gun So our friend the fox runs home Straight into his den He serves himself his supper That nice freshly stolen hen And thus this little story ends with old fox asleep in bed Tomorrow he will rise again And carry on no end

The Little Red Fox
Upon the green meadows Surrounded by hills Not far from where the squirrel sits There lives a little fox A perseverant creature With a coat red as autumn leaves His tailed tipped with some winter white And a cheerful disposition When the bugle sounds He knows that he will have to run With baying hounds upon his trail He scampers in the sun With cackling laugh and swish of tail He dodges snapping jaws Till at last the hounds are called back home Our friend the fox now free As the moon comes out that night A stealthy visitor, he creeps He sneaks back out the chicken coop With dinner in his mouth The farmer hears the scuffle And runs out fully armed He shouts and waves his arms about And fires off his gun So our friend the fox runs home Straight into his den He serves himself his supper That nice freshly stolen hen And thus this little story ends with old fox asleep in bed Tomorrow he will rise again And carry on no end
Personally I’m not quite pleased with the last line suggestions for improvement would be welcome.
