Notes About The Poem

Leisure World Shopping

I live in Leisure World where the grass is green,
and bunnies that munch it can always be seen.
For those little guys, it is essential
to breed fast, indeed, exponential.
So, a rabbit's life is never dull,
and their population is plentiful.
But, this ain't no kiddie cartoon show,
and every coyote that I happen to know
always makes it the strictest habit
to bag a furry bunny rabbit.
These canine delinquents and the crows, fast friends,
play, "who spots the rabbit first, wins".
Walking the sidewalks like shopping aisles,
coyotes are seen with contented smiles.
I say, "Bless their sly little hearts
and their bunny-filled shopping carts".

A good poem. Coyotes aren't intrinsically bad, they just enjoy the flavor of pets. My cat stays in at night.

Yep, they're just being who they are - coyotes. I'm not sure I fully understand, but I've heard that the crows follow the coyotes to get leftovers, but it's more complicated, the crows lead the coyotes and both coyotes and crows benefit.
