The Fox and the Rooster

In a pen of grass and hay Lived a rooster day to day Living with his hens and feed Boasting of his will and greed The world is not a scary place Ill go there and I’ll have a taste And there a fox heard his plight And said come to my house tonight Ill show you what the world is like Come over the walls to mine tonight The Rooster agreed unknowingly Not realizing dangerously And so he climbed over the gate He did not slow or hesitate To which he thought was so much fun But he knew not much of what to come In the cave the fox did wait Awaiting for the Roosters fate Boiling water in a pot This Rooster did not stand a lot He walked into the darkened cave He felt so cold and now afraid The fox jumped out and grabbed his tail The rooster screamed to no avail And then a spot of luck arose And got that rooster on his toes His tail feathers came undone And gave him freedom now to run He ran across the countryside Into his pen where he could hide And never did he boast again Not to the farm or to the hens And anytime he got to proud All the hens in the crowd Point to his tail bare and still Where no feathers grow an never will
