Mama Rabbit Keeps Knitting

The snow was fierce that weekend It never let up, kept falling and falling The drifts were getting higher and higher The wind chill was getting lower and lower It was brutal outside, wasn’t it? Mama rabbit did not mind They had plenty of carrots and lettuce in the larder She had put them up in Mason jars the summer before Anticipating this kind of winter She read the Farmer’s Almanac, didn’t she? The baby bunnies were getting older now They would soon want burrows of their own She was knitting them February blankets With giant red hearts, for she loved Valentine’s Day And Woman’s Day which she was reading as she knitted. She was a multi-tasker, wasn’t she?
