When he saw the fox in the coop,The dog’s blood began to boil:“Won’t you tell me, Madam Gossip,What is this unexpected visit?”

“Ah! May lightning strike me down,Has the news not reached you yet?So many ads, the transistor,Don’t you see what’s on TV?”

“I hear you, but as you know,I keep no such things at home!”“I have changed, I live in hope,Cluck, cluck, cluck, I’ll even lay eggs!”

“You have changed, I can see,And I’m ready to believe.But not your tricks and your vice,You have only changed the coop!”
