I name him marshmallow

They hop into my sister’s garden
They are adorable! I say, watching their cheeks chew up her lettuce.

I know they are rodents
But they look like stuffies
One is almost pure white, I name him Marshmallow.

My sister is NAMING these bunnies! My sis yells at her husband.
Marshmallow is hopping around the flowers. Do bunnies eat them too?

Now they are eating my flowers! My sister shrieks.
But they are nearly tame. Her yelling does not strike fear.
They hop around to the cabbage patch
With zinnias in their mouths.
