The Box Song

The box song by S.E. Schlosser

An Extremely Hard Tongue Twister

by S.E. Schlosser 

Listen to the Box Song

We know its unorthodox, but we really love our lox,
And better still we love to box, and gift-wrap too.
Woodbox and workbox and toolbox and tinderbox
Bobby Fox collects socks, so why don’t you?

We’re standing on our soapbox to save all the muskox;
Eliminate the fowlpox and cowpox too.
Shoebox and shadowbox and saucebox and sandbox
Bobby Fox collects socks, so why don’t you?

We know it’s a paradox to outfox a jukebox;
To laminate a letterbox and boombox too.
Postbox and pillbox and pepperbox and pegbox
Bobby Fox collects socks, so why don’t you?

We don’t mean to flummox the champion chatterbox
Who handles the hatbox of Mrs. La Foux.
Juicebox and junkbox and loosebox and lunchbox
Bobby Fox collects socks, so why don’t you?
