It's A Long Life - A Poetic Celebration Of Life With Dachshunds (Second Edition) - Pamela Harry
THE FOX CUB
My name is Enzo
And my sister’s name is Fleur
And we were sitting quietly when
Something outside caused a stir
Mum thought at first was a kitten
About nine on Saturday night
But then saw that it was a fox cub
Setting off our security light
Well this cheeky cub in our garden
Started peering through our kitchen door
And Fleur let out a couple of barks
But I really gave it what for
Our mum would not let us out though
Which we thought was really unfair
But she had to once it was bedtime
And we searched then everywhere
But despite our super keen noses
The fox cub was not to be found
So must have been very well hidden
And didn’t make one single sound
And so to bed in the kitchen
While mum went upstairs to join dad
But as soon as she’d got herself settled
She knew we would drive her mad
The fox cub had come out of hiding
So again we created mayhem
It had even been joined by it’s mother
So of course we were barking at them
Mum tried very hard to calm us
And a second time went up to bed
But in the end she stayed down with us
As we had other ideas instead
And so we went into the lounge
And hoped then to get some rest
But still we could hear the foxes call
And only got snatches at best
At 3.00 o’clock in the morning
Our dad came down for a moan
The noise was keeping him from his sleep
And yet he’d slept hours on his own
And later on that morning
We went with our mum outside
And Fleur kept sniffing at one certain spot
Where mum thought the fox cub could hide
Well 9.00 o’clock on Sunday night
There was barking and screaming again
Mummy fox was coaxing her cub
But her efforts were all in vain
But enough was enough by midnight
And so we were carried upstairs
Another night with so little sleep
Would’ve been a poor state of affairs
And so to keep us both settled
Between mum and dad was our place
But then they were falling out of their bed
As we left them so little space
At 6.00 a.m. mum brought us down
After a somewhat restless night
And again we rushed round the garden
But there wasn’t a fox now in sight
Still we could hear them calling
Mummy fox was in such distress
But the back wall to their ‘home’ garden
Was too tall for the fox cub I guess
Mum saw the cub
