The Blue Fox

"The Blue Fox"

Once some furious dogs

Were chasing a brown fox.

He was a bit difficult to chase

Since he was not a slow ox.

Afraid of the dogs

He ran and ran,

Until he saw 

A big deep pan.

The pan was filled with blue paint,

He thought of hiding in it.

But before the dogs came back,

In he had to sit.

So in he hid himself 

And away the dogs went.

 His back was paining very much,

While hiding,his back was bent.

Out he came from the pan,

And he was all blue.

What he looked like exactly,

No one would have a clue.

So he went to the jungle,

And all the animals he told,

That he was sent by god to rule

And that he was brave and bold.

He started enjoying the authority

From the animals that he got;

For all the animals really believed

That he was sent by God.

Once he started howling with foxes,

In the jungle who would dwell.

And the howl was that of a fox,

All the animals could tell.

Furious was the lion,

Angry was the monkey.

Surprised was the elephant

And confused was the donkey.

The lion wanted to punish

The bad, cunning fox;

So he was made to crush

By a big brown ox.

Like every other storytale,

There is a moral of this story.

'The one who betrays his people

Never achieves glory.'

Today's talk: a beautiful day. We watch the TV series, Ramaayan, everyday at 9am and 9pm. Its made very nicely and has ideal chracters, situations and behaviour. The temperature is quite normal today.

The poem which I've introduced today is actually a moral story that my grandfather used to tell me when I was 3-4 years old. I've always been interested in this story and I decided to convert it into a poem.All good...☺️
