Outfoxed by the Fox Boudreau left to go hunting one day taking his trusty dog Hocum along Hocum’s nose was at the ground to stay Boudreau was singing a hunting song Hocum, twitching his nose, started to bay letting Boudreau know what lay ahead He spied a fox running to get away across the meadow and into a creek bed Hocum was hot on the trail of the fox Boudreau was running not far behind Through the creek bed, over slippery rocks into the entrance of an old deserted mine Hocum was not about to leave the scent even tho the mine was as dark as night He would go until his energy was spent he’d catch that crafty ole fox all right Poor Boudreau loathed the dark mine that’s where creepy creatures crawled Up ahead he could hear Hocum whine “Hocum, you get out here,” he called All of a sudden Boudreau heard a roar that could not possibly come from a fox With speed, out of the cave Hocum tore scaring poor Boudreau out of his socks Boudreau heard the roar once again He was moving as fast as he could run “God help these feet to move, Amen” It was time for this hunt to be done He turned around to take a peek behind there sat the fox and a brown bear He knew this whole thing had been designed there were smiles on the faces of the pair Boudreau had been outfoxed by the fox He walked home feeling pretty glum He’d like to see that fox buried in a box This was a hunting story to keep mum Written by, Wanda L.

LOL, as I could see my little Skippy dog running with Hocum. Skippy is a Jack Russell Terrier, a go-to-ground dog that thinks anything smaller than a Mack truck is fair game. A funny write, Wanda. But since I love those little foxes, I really liked the ending.  |

Larry, Doreen, Midenitesun; I do so enjoy your comments. Midenitesun, your Skippy sounds like quite a dog..h-m-m-m-m, so he finds anything smaller then a Mack truck fair game. How many bears has HE tackled? :-) Thank you all for your response to this story/poem. Wanda |
