Don’t bring your fox to Iceland
It wouldn’t be so nice and
He’d be better off in mice land
If such a place existed
There’d be no one to blame oh
I don’t mean to sound mean* No
Not the place with the volcano
The shop with the ice biscuits
Frozen food shops are no place for foxes
He’d want to bury the pizza boxes
Would sly his way through the chicken locks as
The cabinets all would be misted
Yes corn on the corn, or veggies, or meals
Foxes can howl all they want, can appeal
But they won’t change my mind on this one, no deal
No Iceland for your fox today
*mean – pronounced to rhyme with blame
with thanks to Titus for the commission

Aw, the poor fox. He really wanted to go. Iceland is miceland. and lemmingland and voleland and whathaveyou. He would get so fluffy!
Our Iceland is miceland.Seen a few rats round the back too.
Actually we don't have an Iceland..sniff..sob. boo-hoo
You have a rare talent for this Niamh, it could be a glittering career and you will clean up in the 'poems which disuade you from bringing animals to certain places' category of poetry competitions.
I pray you won't run out of shops.....or animals...or insanity
Ah, my poor fox. Who knew you were so hard of heart? Or even mean No?
Loved this bit

Mr Titus is offering Budgies and Millets, as he thinks he is funny.
We like these.
NanU - coincidentally fluffy is my fox's name.
TFE - thank you very much, computer says there are 250,000 different species of animal, and the insanity ain't runnin low either - tho i do like to work on commission.
Thanks Titus, yes Budgies and Millets - though we don't have Millets, but I have looked them up and their equivalent here is called The Great Outdoors.
More commissions welcome... just in case
I wish you’d posted this on Sunday
I took my fox to Iceland Monday.
I warned him but he said “I’ll risk it”
His tongue got stuck when he licked a biscuit.
Those darned crazy foxes Acorn!! I shall try to be more timely in future.
Love the Iceland and nice and rhyme - not to mention the mean no/volcano rhyme.
You are almost running out of known animals and retail outlets - having said that how about -
don't take your tarantula to mothercare;
don't take your lobster to monsoon (it has the potential to be a modern classic);
don't take your pine martin to top man;
don't take your caribou to hughes and hughes (because it has shut down in any case);
