A Bunny In a Bit of a Stew

Felix the cat caught a frightened bunny Which Sammy the skunk didn't find at all funny So he raised up his tail; the cat let out a wail The bunny escaping as Felix set sail … The grateful bunny, desiring to repay Sammy the skunk in his own special way The latter said, "In return for saving your life I'd like you to find me a partner, a wife" Now the bunny was in a bit of a stew As how could he, a rabbit, know what to do -- And yet he surely owed Sammy his life So he set out to find the skunk a wife Well, the bunny looked high; the bunny looked low But it seemed that in every place he would go Single female skunks were in rather short supply It looked like he wouldn't find one 'till he died... Now if you don't want me this little tale to yank Understand that what I'm telling you's no prank Please know, my friend, that I'm being quite frank When I assure you: All the endings I've tried really stank P.U!

This is such fun Gershon, I could smell dear Sammy in the UK, haha... and I am so pleased the Bunny escaped unscathed as I love them and have had several as pets in the past. Really enjoyed your well penned poem. Kindest thoughts for 2019 Ann xx

I like your semi-mono-rhyme. It was whimsical and fun. Not your usual serious style, but now that you are getting into limericks and these cute missives, I must say it looks like you are expanding your portfolio. I heartily approve!

Portfolio? It's more like an accordion. It expands and contracts and repeats same---but what's left at the end of the evening? (Nothing, right?). Ha, ha! Happy New Year, Caren! And, really, thank you very much for all of your support. Appreciated. :) gw
