Differences

The wolf and the bunny rabbit loved to meet for tea
Although they were a very odd pair
They enormously enjoyed each ohers company

The bunny rabbit was always a most gracious host
Whenever the wolf would come to call
Both lived by their wits
So there were conversations of survival concerning the great and small

"You know I've been thinking", said the wolf
"Yes", said the bunny rabbit all poised for flight
"How is it that you and I, after all this time?
Perhaps you could lend some insight"
"Well", said the bunny rabbit  "I like you mostly cause your different
Your not at all like me
I greatly admire your fierceness and your heart
and you possess tremendous bravery"

"Thank you", said the wolf
"I too admire you very much as well"
"You do", said the bunny rabbit twitching its pink nose, "please tell, please tell"
"Well", said the wolf  "unlike me you're very soft and cuddly 
And most agreeable indeed
Moreover I always knew you would be there in my very special time of need"

"Ohhh you're not hungary are you", said the bunny rabbit sounding just a bit 
alarmed
"No, no", said the wolf  "it's not at all like that
Once again I've been misunderstood, oh darn"
"You know a wolf gets lonely especially seperate from the pack
But all my life it has worked that way 
Most have been afraid of me  I have that special knack
Sometimes lonliness a hunger of heart
Tends to change true nature and set differences apart
The difference in you was the attraction for me
For you see dear bunny rabbit
You were the only one of many in my wilderness who took the time for tea"
