The Fox in the Box

by callahan819

Just so happened I noticed my professor had a shelf of children's books in his house, many of which were Dr. Seuss books. This inspired me to try and write a Dr. Seuss parody. I decided Cat in the Hat is one of the classics, so I would attempt to create my own version of Cat in the Hat. So here is what I came up!

The Fox in the Box

School was cancelled

Due to a brutal snow storm

So we sat by the fire

And tried to keep warm

"What can we do?"

I asked my brother Matt

"I don't know" he replied

And there we just

Sat!

Sat!

Sat!

Not a sound in the room

Except a snap, crackle, pop

Ohh the boredom had sunk in

And snow would not stop

I became lost in my thoughts

Day-dreaming of warm summer days

But then there was a knock at the door

Who could it be at house number 1234?

We swung the door open

And looked all around

But nothing was there

Except a large box on the ground

Stamped with our address

What a mysterious surprise

The sender was anonymous

And so we brought the box inside

We pushed and we shoved

Up, through the door and into the room

What in the world could this gift be?

Well, we would know very soon!

"Matt, go grab some scissors!"

I could not contain my great joy!

I wanted him to hurry,

So we could see our great new toy!

Back with a pair of scissors my brother came,

And into the box we began to cut, tear, and pull

Until all of a sudden we heard, "Ouch!"

"EEK!" I shrieked!

As quick as a flash I ran and hid behind the couch.

From the box out jumped a fox

Not just a fox

A fox wearing socks

A fox wearing socks was inside that box!

I will leave it to your own imagination

What craziness happened next

For it's not every day you find a fox in a box

On your front door steps
