I am the fox, I am very clever,
When will the farmer catch me? May be never.
I live in a hole, no bigger than a box,
I live with my four children and my beloved Mrs Fox.
I take care of my family, I bring them meat,
Which is fresh from the farmer’s land and is a treat to eat.
Boggies, Bounce and Bean,
They are famous for being rich, stinky and mean.
The farmers don’t like me they think I am a thief,
But, they have caged all my food, and have only given me grief.
They Shot me up, I ran and bailed,
They broke my house when all else failed.
My wife cried and my children where scared,
But, to jump out none of us dared.
We dug and dug until, we reached their house,
On the way we met a badger and then a mouse.
We took all the food we wanted, we had a glorious feast,
We like to share and do not hoard like a beast.
We decided to make a village underground,
So that in long term we are safe and sound.
I don’t understand why humans cage our food,
But when we take it they start such a feud.
No matter how deep is the trouble,
When we use our brain the impossible becomes possible.
Based on the book “ Fantastic Mr Fox” by Roald Dahl
