Ferdinand the sly red fox by Glynis Hale
Ferdinand the sly red fox, jumped over the hill for tea
He fell into the brook and went and caught a flea
The flea name Ronald jumped around and tickled the foxes arm
He walked right down his leg and then he fled back to the farm
With pigs and cows and goats and sheep, Ronald had a lovely time
Until a cow named Josephine ate him up, oh such a crime
The cow she gave a great big burp and she fell down on her knees
Bertie the pig, just laughed out loud and said "well don't eat fleas"
The pig was in a terrible state, snorting everywhere
He went into the chicken shed and frightened all in there
Ferdinand the sly red fox, heard the noise inside
Chickens for his dinner tonight, he licked his lips in pride
He sauntered through the fence to find, where all the noise came from
But when he got inside the shed, he found they all had gone
Poor old Ferdinand the fox, couldn't believe what he had seen
And his nose began to itch, he woke up, it was just a dream
