      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
