Poem

We were sent on an errand
My sister Faith and I
But it ended up being a mission
Because there were bunnies to love
And geese to chase and a baby bunny to save

We had a little basket full of eggs
To bring back from our grandmother's house
Just over the hill. 
Grandma had fresh hot pancakes waiting
So like her!

We were on time, singing our Frere Jaques song
The one that is also called Are you Sleeping
Since we speak French and English
We were getting too loud, and Old Man E.E. shushed us

We looked sharply to see him more closely.
He was Grandma's beau,
And only kidding us.
We gave him quick hugs and continued

Strange that he was going to Grandma's
After we left, huh? He was a weird man.
The mommy bunny was hopping around in an unusual hop
So we stopped to take a peek. She had five babies

At first we thought they were rats, ugly like that
Hairless, with closed slits where eyes should be
But they were hers, and she wanted us to do something
We thought maybe they were uncomfortable

We took the eggs out of the basket 
And gently picked up the bunnies, 
Putting them into the basket.
Now what?

It looked like rain, so we moved them to shelter
Under a huge oak. Mommy bunny hopped next to us.
She seemed grateful. We kind of needed the basket back
But this was not to be; they looked so comfy and stuff.

We held the eggs in our aprons.
Breaking only three of them. 
We would explain to grandma about her basket later
An animal lover too, she would fully understand.


BAM! CRASH! When we heard the first two thunderclaps
We hugged each other over our mutual complicit caper
Our secret kept us giggling at each other all day long.
Our mother suspected it was something grandma did.
