Nursery rhyme
"Foxy's Hole" is a nursery rhyme for children that is played as a game. It is thought to originate from the Tudor period. The lyrics are as follows:
- Put your finger in Foxy's hole
- Foxy's not at home
- Foxy's out at the back door
- Picking at a bone
The game involves the adult catching the child's finger in a clenched fist, which represents Foxy's "hole".
