Origin & Inspiration

1 Jul 2011

 

A friend was reciting Dr Seuss's Fox In Socks to her child, who was wearing crocks. They are fond of crocs. I am not. Let alone with socks. That's worse than sandals with socks.

 

God gave croc and roll to us

Crocs!

Crocs with socks!

A sight to see is crocs with socks

Upon a fox from down the docks

who's caught the pox upon her box

when the cure, say docs, is eat some cox*

 

And if The Public's shocked and mocks

a fox who rocks in socks and crocs

Shave off their locks! Kick their buttocks!

Those cocks that mocks a fox in crocs.

 

But what about crocs upon Burt Kwouk?

Take the glock out of your pock'**

Beat the clock! Shoot off his block!

That's what you do with crocs on Kwouk

.

Crocs with socks - it's all bollocks

I prefer a fox with big New Rocks

A great big shock of tousled locks

And not a fox in crocs with socks.

 

*APPLES, OF COURSE. NOT THE GORMSTER YELLING IN A ROWING BOAT. OR EATING COCKS - THAT'S HOW SHE GOT INTO TRUB IN THE FIRST PLACE...

 

 

** ABBREVIATION OF POCKET.
