No, I would not box a fox in frocks.

Would you box a fox with chalks?
No, I would not box a fox with cha ...[text shortened]... ike a fox in a box or Ft. Knox.
I do not like it, Sam I am!
-- apologies to Dr. Suess
Maybe I would, if I could inveigle
A dab of cream cheese for my bagel.
Hoping you are cool with that.
If not, please keep it under your hat
(not the cream cheese or bagel or lox,
of course, nor even the hapless fox),
and if that's the case, let's leave it at that.
I miss the fox who used to come,
so very late at night,
he'd often make my dog quite cross,
give my cat a fright.
He never looked well nourished,
had mangy ears and tail,
his fur was reddish yellow,
produced a whiny howl.
I miss the fox who used to come,
hope the chap's alright,
was cool to have him visit us,
so very late at night.
Edit: True story
On a cool Summer evening
a fox came 'a knocking,'
clothed in fine garments
his appearance was shocking.
"Sorry to disturb," said the fox
his accent quite British,
"Could I sell you a bridge?"
..his question was skittish.
But long in the tooth,
I sent his 'a packing,'
never buy a bridge from a fox,
unless your senses are lacking.

A ‘Boro happy story
Me and me mates we’re out on the pull
We’ve done a few pubs on way to skin-full
Plenty of lasses they’re on it all night
Most of them rockin’ and downing some pints
We end up at ‘SpankBar’ it’s nowt to get in
If you’re packing a wedge and buy plenty of gin
We lodge at the bar and scope the landscape
The girls walking past all doing the trape
One is a fox and I catches her eye
She pulls up at the bar and orders a dry
I ask her to play and she says “only pool”
I’m happy with that and I says “that’s cool”
4 years years have passed and I’m in waiting room
Can’t help but think of it all being doom
But she swirls out the door, she’s already an aunt
And says “finally you meathead .. you’ve made me pregnant”

I'd just like to say I appreciate
the pieces you wrote, but I hesitate
Don't worry -- seduction is not on my mind
nor is stuff that was written on the wind
Some of us might end up drowning in drool
But it seems to me you're to some extent cool
Maybe we're not now as foxy as then,
But are we not poets, and are we not men!

"Check your sparrows,"
said Bonnie Prince Fox
(who keeps his sparrows
in a box).
"Hold your arrows,"
said The Herald Jerome,
"I take them with me
when I'm not at home.
"And as for how wheeling-
dealing goes,
my sparrows are better than yours,
I suppose.
"So cool your heels until you see
better tomorrows.
As for me,
I'm chilling with some capybaras."
