Today's Theme: Fox or Foxy
Form: Florette
Inspiration: Jenni Astramowicz, who showed me how to step out of the box.

Homage to Redd
A story man, comedian, bard
Growing up, St. Louis proved hard
Born Sanford, he switched to Redd Foxx
And struggling out of a box, never dropped his guard
Early days his schtick was to shock
Racial issues were his to mock
A trendsetter paving the way
Foxx ‘s humor , his
jokes, held sway, inspiring Chris Rock
Today we think of comedy
Recall Redd’s knack for parody
His genius entertained generations
Caught attention of a nation, his rhapsody
