Blue Fox and Sister Chicken

   
   "Blue Fox and Sister Chicken"
   
   Foxes, members of the family Canidae, which includes wolf-like and fox-like canids, that synergy of the tribe canini, being Latin for dogs, includes Vulpes, the Latin term for fox, of course.
   But Mr. Blue Fox was not Vulpes vulpes, a red fox--no, he was Dodger Blue.  A strangely cunning yet innocent beast, more of a spirit than an animal, loving the most bizarre of things, including Sister Chicken.
   Blue Fox didn't like chicken bones; they were tough on his intestinal tract.  After all--he wasn't a crazy coyote capable of eating a dirty baby diaper and then producing normal scat, no, he was just a weird fox, and didn't want a tummy ache; thus, he mainly lived on chicken eggs.
   Indeed, when intrinsically called to haunt the hen house during the nocturnal hours, he met with a hearty female chicken, her dubbing herself Sister Chicken because she was a sort of debutante in the domesticated fowl community, being a star, hanging the Moon, and laying the most luscious of ivory-white eggs.
   Sister Chicken told Blue Fox not to eat her; specifically, she was a bit phobic concerning the small and blue-hued fox upon their first meeting, not wanting to be his nighttime meal; however, after explaining to her that he didn't like chicken bones, she offered him two fresh eggs each night if he wouldn't gulp her or her sisters up inside his predatory belly.   Blue Fox thought it a great deal, and they shook on it.
   So, every night, whether the Moon was Full, New, waning, or waxing--under that neon glow of Luna's Daystar reflection, Blue Fox met with Sister Chicken, and she had his two eggs ready.  And yes, they were scrumptious and totally yummy, filling his sensitive stomach, and easily evacuated into symmetrical scat.  It was a friendship and deal forged in heaven to display the differences of creatures labelled this way or that way.  
   Yes, we are all the same, but different too, some like the darker Yankee Blue, while others still pull for the Dodgers and their homemade hot dogs near the Pacific Ocean, swirling with aquatic life in perpetual swim and mammalian snorkel.
