Elf Meets Fox
Maybe a cardinal will come by
We could hitch a ride, my friend said.
We waited; but none came
So we walked a few more steps
Maybe a squirrel will come by.
They are usually pretty fast.
But selfish, I told him.
They would not give us a lift.
The next time I saw him,
He had hopped past me
Riding a rabbit with an up and down bounce.
“Hop on!” said a voice.
It was a fox.
“No thanks,” I said. “Walking is good for me.”
I did not get more than a few steps.
