What Does the Fox Say

mouse’s new play mate squeaks a lot, but doesn’t quack. . . my rubber ducky rub a dub ba dub five fish swimming in my tub. . . blub blub blub blub blub reindeer on my roof my puppies try to warn me. . . woof! woof! woof! woof! woof! It isn’t the sound you need to worry about. . . *when elephants toot! moo! The cows cried out but cows can’t make the “v” sound. . . they crashed into me! when birds sing tweet tweet they need to realize that cats are hearing “treat!” out on my front lawn lying silent and lifeless. . . *the frog that had croaked clever little fox whatever it is you say. . . I got nothing for ya! *For my non-American friends who may not know The lingo, “toot” also means “to fart” and “croak” has the slang meaning “to die.” Per request of Scat A., my favorite sound in the song “What Does the Fox Say” is BLUB!!!” Just Love how it comes out when I speak it!

I'm glad I stopped by your haiku..The elephants one put a smile on my face and I didn t know there was a connection between the croaky sound and death.Tnks for sharing sweet lady.

It's indeed of importance either positive, negative or neutral. Beautifully done something extra ordinary. Fox howls with bulb certainly but means nothing for you and all. Loved always,my lovely friend, bl
