"The Fox is Fine" (an apologetic poem)


I've received concerned responses to my yesterday's post about an encounter with a fox.

Everyone seems to be worried about that "lost animal."  I felt compelled to say that 

~ The Fox is Fine ~

I think I owe you
An apology, my dear
Animal lovers.

I did see a fox,
No question about it, but
He was doing fine:

Checking out my yard,
Walking like he owned the place,
Looking quite happy.

He was never lost,
He just stopped for a visit -
An intrusive guest.

It’s one of those things…
You can blame my Muse. Better
Still, blame the sly fox!



Live for the Love of it,
The Happy Amateur

  2. We seem to get worked up over wild life. Yet that is indeed what they are...wild. I think too that we can get lost in those beautiful eyes... sly critters.

    1. It was wild all right. I was glad I was inside :-)

    2. Indoors, I meant to say; the whole family watched the fox through the living room window.
