Funny Bunny With No Money

I’m just bunny, with a hop so funny, who’s hungry and needing a carrot- so I flop and plop down on my seat and bugging me is a purple ferret. Wanting to know what I wish, he offers me his favorite meal, he loves the fried fish, oh what a dish, but I really want carrot veal! “WE DON’T HAVE A DEAL ON CARROT VEAL TODAY”, he shouts with violence- but what a steal for that great meal! Then he stands there in silence. I sit and ponder with anticipated wonder and before I opened my lips, he shouts like thunder, so I take cover and I fall down and break my hips! “I TOLD YOU THE FISH WOULD FLIP AND SWISH AND YOU DIDN’T CARE, YOU MUST ORDER WHAT’S ON THE LIST AND CARROT VEAL ISN’T THERE!” I have to strip, for I have a broken hip, needed to see how hurt I am, so I unzip and what a trip! He says, “HOW BOUT YOU TRY THE HAM?” But I have a friend who is a pig, he snorts with his snout and is too big, he loves my jokes and wears a pink wig and has a strange obsession to dig. “I can’t eat ham, my friend silly Sam says I could never eat him for lunch, trying the lamb might be better than ham," then the ferret had a hunch. “JUST SIP ON THE POETRY SOUP, THEN EAT THE BLUE ROAST BEAST, YOU DIP IT IN JUICE AND THEN THE FRUIT, FOR THE CHEF IS AN ARTISTE!”, I wonder what poetry soup tastes like and if it speaks as I read along- I ponder and think if it’s a waste if the words disappear as I write a song. For I’d love to be a songwriter with strong abs so tighter and a marvelous voice to sing- it’d be tough on my soft fur with if sweat occurs and my pink ears would stink! After all that, sitting in the diner “Cat in the Hat”, I finally know what I desire! It’s expensive and high-class but I chose to fry my own fish in the diner fire. I hop to the loo, and you would too, if you were as full as my tummy- “uh-oh…” I say then I walk away... I’m just a funny bunny with no money! I Need A Cup Of Seuss March 30, 2017

this is adorable, Laura. I love the part about how you don't want to eat ham since your friend is a PIG! Great way to incorporate poetry soup into the poem too!! this contest has me wondering if I can even do it! (by the way, the cat in my picture is no longer alive. Now I have a black cat!)
