A Rabbit Named Bunny

Dogs dogmatically guard the home Sounding the alarm with a growling bark As owners are alerted to the threat Miscreants flee into the dark Cats are categorically useful too Their mouse-tracking skills renowned When a feline is prowling on patrol Rodents scurry underground But rabbits are a tougher sell Their herbivore hunting skills quite moot Unable to save the day or keep vermin at bay They mostly sit there looking cute Rabbits are thin-skinned as well There's one faux pas you must not commit Please do not call them rodents Order Lagomorpha is where they fit Why then do we delight in ours The doe we call simply “Bunny” ? It's cuz her antics provide comic relief When she yawns it looks so funny Bunny blithely flips her little plate A curt review of pet shop food She’s holding out for blueberries or kale Depending on her mood Baby carrots and parsley sprigs Make for a tasty Bunny lunch She regales us with her table talk: Munchity, crunchity, crunch After a hard day’s work, I come home To my gray-and-white-furred friend She’ll run to be picked up and petted And my stresses are at an end Yes, Bunny is priceless to us And she certainly earns her keep Familial duties done for the day On a little throw pillow she falls asleep _______________________________ for contest: Furry Friend Sponsored by: Royal T
