OLD DOCTOR FOX

There are those people who are in very prestigious positions in the society e.g. doctors, politicians, leaders, etc. Some people misuse their title just to get money but do not care how they do their job or the outcome. But these same people are the ones who are quick to condemn other hardworking people of poor performance. They also do everything as to make those who are in their power to lead a miserable life e.g. exploitation, contempt etc. Such are the ones depicted in this little humorous poem. Read on.

OLD DOCTOR FOX

This doctor Fox was so many years old

Yet still had the handsomeness of gold

His maid-servant was a one beautiful mouse

Together they lived in a magnificent house

His house majestically stood on a high hill

And all his long life he never was ill

This very old doctor fox

Knew all of his country folks

He was a doctor for all the beasts and birds

He put on his specs and he used big words

He felt the pulse, and then he looked mighty wise

He pulled out his watch and he shut both his eyes

He grabbed his hat and he grabbed up his cane

Then “blam”, went the door, he was gone like a train

This very old doctor fox

Knew all of his country folks

One time a one mister lion fell very ill

In his lonely bed he weakly lay very still

Too much of young pig, too much of old pig

Too much of every animal which is so big

He was as near dead as so near being born

And he weakly lay seemingly so forlorn

This very old doctor fox

Knew all of his country folks

Mister lion he groaned, mister lion he growled

While Mrs. Lion and the children just howled

Old Doctor Fox took out his tool, Mr. Lion to lance

He pierced mister lion till it made him prance

Then he grabbed up his hat and grabbed up his cane

“Blam”, went the door, he was gone like a train

This very old doctor fox

Knew all of his country folks

But the very following day mister lion died

When they told doctor fox, he just scratched his head

“If persons get well or if persons get worse

Money got to come into old doctor fox’s purse,

Not for what folks do, but for what they know

Do the folks get paid” and fox laughed low

This very old doctor fox

Knew all of his country folks

Old doctor fox’s maid-servant the beautiful mouse

Was never out of doctor fox’s magnificent house

She always cooked very sweet food

Her job was always done very good

But to old doctor fox she was a servant and a wife

And in his house she lived a very bitter life

This very old doctor fox

Knew all of his country folks

Doctor Fox used to tell poor beautiful miss mouse

Who was never out of his magnificent house

“Folks get paid, for a job well done,

But you never did anything fine.”

But beautiful miss mouse could not go anywhere

Circumstance had forced her to remain there

This very old doctor fox

Knew all of his country folks
