Have You Ever Seen a Rabbit Wearing Glasses?

A rabbit's life, tragically upended
because of the company he befriended - 
where, once, happiness had brimmed,
he grew old, and his eyesight dimmed. 
His brain slowed down like molasses. 
'Twas then I saw him wearing glasses.
So, pitifully, he did implore, 
but the carrot said, "don't darken my door".
In the end, he took the dead man's walk,
led by a vitamin A-poor celery stalk.

I've never see a rabbit wearing glasses, but I think this one in particular may need more than his eye sight checked. :) This is cute and clever. Thanks for the smile this evening, David. :) Hugs, Brandy

Thanks, Sara. I agree! It's premature to conclude that his problem is a Vitamin A deficiency.
