Roald Dahl: Fantastic Mr Fox
Mr. Fox is good and smart
And he also has a big heart.
He has four children and a wife
for whom he would give his life.
Fantastic Mr. Fox
Ate a lot of chickens, turkeys and ducks.
He stole a lot of food,
But not from the farmers who are good.
Boggis and Bunce and Bean
One fat, one short, one lean,
These horrible crooks,
So different in looks,
Were nonetheless equally mean!
They wanted to kill
The one who has a stealing skill,
The three farmers then
Had an excellent plan.
They knew where his home was
So they waited until they saw his paws
But they only shot his tail
So their plan was a total fail
Bean, the farmer, has another plan:
He wants to dig out the foxes
as fast as he can.
The three farmers started to dig
But the foxhole was very-very big.
Mr. Fox cried:
“ Dig for your life!”
“Dig, dig if you don’t want to die!”
Mr. Fox and his family
just dig, and dig and dig:
And the foxhole becomes very big,
The three farmers couldn’t find them
So Bean shouted again:
“We need a new plan!
“Dig with tractors!
Mechanical tractors!”
The farmers dug again
But it wasn’t a good plan.
The foxes were faster,
They were the masters.
Bean said:
“I have a new plan! It isn’t bad.
Let’s starve the foxes out.
A few days, and they will come out!”
The foxes started to starve,
So they began to dig and carve.
Together with his four small foxes
He dug a tunnel to Boggis’ chicken boxes
They stole chicken after chicken
Even if the chance of getting caught
has started to thicken.
They took the chickens to their mother
who was surprised, because she thought
That they wouldn’t bother.
They took Badger, the great digger, with them
So that he could hopefully help them
They dug to the ducks and geese
Where they could steal in peace.
There was only one place left
Where they could commit theft
This place was Bean's apple cider cellar.
Mr. Fox knew this because he was a great smeller.
Now they got all they ever wanted
To invite their friends, they started
They ate and drank as much as they needed.
All the animals are
Very enthusiastic
About Mr. Fox being
So fantastic
Boggis and Bunce and Bean
One fat, one short, one lean,
Three men equally mean
Are still waiting for the fox to be seen.
