Her Baby

Laying on the road alone A bunny died on his own The cars still kept on whizzing by Without a whimper or a sigh For that baby bunny In a Meadow not far away Other bunnies were out at play, Mother rabbit called them in for tea, When she noticed there were only three. The look of panic in the mother's eyes, It is a look you can't disguise, Her remaining babies started to cry Because they couldn't understand why, Their mummy was afraid. Another rabbit heard the noise, And picking up some rabbits toys She took them to see her friend, To see if she could help mend What was causing so much grief And encourage them and give them relief. The friend said she would stay, With the babies, while mummy goes away, To look for baby bunny number four, Mummy put on her shawl, And with a quivering voice began to call For her precious baby, She had a bad feeling inside that maybe, He had died. While dismissing this thought For tears this thought brought, She heard traffic whizzing by She collapsed as she spied HER BABY!
