Easter Bunny

Easter Bunnies Easter bunnys bellies burning , From the poison virus mate, Aussie farmers want him murdered , For every blade of grass he takes, Have you seen a mattry eyed, blind bunny, A stumbling to and fro, Have you felt his pain, the stumbling, Bugs Bunnies‘s STILL gotta go, (today) Bunny was here in millions, In our great south land, Free food for all the nation, People ate and loved it man, RSPCA protection for the animals of man, But not for outlaw Bunnie, not part of the plan? 2112 arrives, but still they want him dead, The hungry squatter/farmer, What about Cane toad’s, uncle Fred, The Bushmen and the Drovers, And the Swaggies loved his meat , No starvation in Australia, When we had ol Bunnie sweet. But he’s gotta go. Our great depression was a bit easier because we had Bunnys, no one starved when there was no money. Their hides made Army Slouch hats and Akubras. Shouldn't we have free tucker on the hoof, is there something wrong with that!!! So he is an outlaw Bunnie, like the wild Pigs, but not in the same numbers as of the Kangaroo, who are there in millions, eating much more grass of the Master…Don Johnson Yes Joe, Bunny was a free feed you didn't have to work, you could wander the country like the swaggies did ...i got some kentucky rabbit in the seventies ...strip of fur on my chicken... white meat very good tucker, less Waltzing matilda sheep stolen as a result ...but the hungry Squatter stole the bagmans bunny so we ate his sheep...

Bunnies are larger, Hares too, great breeding country for Bugs Bunny....some Drongo got a bee in his bonnet about the few blades of grass his sheep were not getting.....then they died in the drought....payback virus the bunnie.
