My Socks and a Curious Fox
I was sat on a rock adjusting my socks,
And what did I see, but a curious fox.
Who was most surprised, probably I,
So there we sat, both having a spy.
He cocked his head in a quizzical style,
I blew a little whistle, and gave him a smile.
His ears pricked up, He sniffed at the air,
He slowly stood up, as if I wasn't there.
A fine fellow he in his red livery,
Standing there posing, as if to say "look at me."
He gave a great yawn, for he had been sleeping,
Not expecting to wake to such a strange greeting.
Then he was off, the encounter was done,
Rarely had a walk met with such fun.
Who'd have thought while pulling up my socks,
I'd have a meeting, with a curious fox.
