Magic Circle for Three Things Challenge

Magic Circle

Ring around a Rosie
safe within a hoop.
Mommy drew a circle
around the chicken coop.

When the fox jumped over it,
the hens began to squawk,
voicing their alarm
in raucous chicken talk.

Mommy grabbed a broom
to drive the rascal out,
punctuating every swing
with an angry shout.

Now the fox is sulking,
hungry little pest
while each hen is settled
securely in her nest.

The ring around this Rosie,
our most prolific hen,
means that we’ll have scrambled eggs
more than now and then!!!

For the Three Things Challenge

The three words today are:
RING
CIRCLE
HOOP

    Wow, that looks like a classic for your next Children’s book~! Do you need more challenges from a complete novice to keep going~? With that kind of rhyme, you are on your way again~!

    Fun Judy. We kept chickens and according to the book we had for novices, male human urine was a good deterrent for foxes. We never had a problem, but we also tied clumps of dog fur on the netting as it was another!
