"The three foxes"

No matter how old I get, I never tire of A.A. Milne's work, whether his Winnie-the-Pooh books or books such as "When we were young" which is where this delightfully nonsensical poem comes from:

The Three Foxes

Once upon a time there were three little foxes
Who didn't wear stockings and they didn't wear sockses,
But they all had handkerchiefs to blow their noses,
And they kept their handkerchiefs in cardboard boxes.

They lived in the forest in three little houses,
And they didn't wear coats, and they didn't wear trousies,
They ran through the woods on their little bare tootsies,
And they played "Touch last" with a family of mouses.

We survive this crazy world because we still see the light side of life....just as it should be.
Love this poem

sharp hunters that seem some distance from Milne's idealized characterisation...their roguish presence still captures the imagination...alert capture Christine...V
