Bunnies

For our seven kids we bought
last year for their Easter day
seven bunnies. Is that a lot?
Yes, it is. It’s brought great dismay.

Bunnies sure multiply. Oh my!
I could not believe my own eyes.
Although we are NOT in short supply,
we’re not a bunny enterprise!

Bunnies - bunnies are everywhere -
on our sofas and on the floor.
And one was in my underwear.
They are always behind each door.

They are even in our loo,
so what - oh what - can we do?
Should we sneak them into a zoo?
I dare not make a bunny stew.

Because our patience grows so thin,
we will need a great big van.
Then we’ll try to stuff them in
and drive far off. Well, that’s the plan.

We’ll find a field; then with a whiz
we’ll drive away while it’s still dark.
However did Noah keep all his 
from running all over the Ark?

Some fun lines in there like Bunny enterprise, and the thought of them on the Ark. I guess no one starved, lol.

Andrea, this is a pleasure to read. What a predicament! I'm glad you are not in NY as it is a violation of law to relocate an animal. You can ask me how I know....it's a long story that involves an appearance in criminal court.

In US bunnies are loved and usually are not used for food. In Malta it is considered a delicacy, though I would not like to see them killed. Hugs.

Perhaps Noah kept his bunnies on a lead, you must have been hopping mad having your house taken over like that. Enjoyed the read Andrea… Beryl
