Notes About The Poem

SOME PEOPLE JEST AIN'T GOT NO PATIENCE.

Rabbit Stew

A little old lady named Rosie,
Loved to plant things like veggies and posies.
Her garden a sight, the whole yard a delight,
And butterflies played ring round the Rosie.

Now rabbits got into her garden,
And ate everything to yard's end.
Out the back door she flew to round up the crew,
And proceeded to make rabbit stew.

Simply a beautiful write, Judy--rabbits are lovable to most..sometimes anger gets the best of us.

I love rabbits. They are beautiful and sweet and I love to watch them. There are lots around here and quite literally run through the neighborhood. God Bless and thanks bunches. JB

I look out for bunnies in the field when we go for our walks - there is one place I call ' rabbit corner' as there are always rabbits there, I have never had rabbit meat - they are so cute I couldnt eat it ! hugs Jan xx

I love them too and there are lots of wild rabbits around here. They are in the fields and run through the town. Have to watch so we don't run over them with the car. Thanks bunches. God Bless, JB

Me too Judy _ I had 4 rabbits and my father made a hutch for them - they were too cute for words, but they breed (excuse the pun) like rabbits, so all the neighbors had rabbits as pets. Rabbit stew is delicious though, I had it for the fist time last year. Like your Limerick Judy. Blessings, Jennifer.

Very clever rhyming, Judy - but I had a pet rabbit as a girl, so I gotta take the rabbit's side here :)

G'day Judy … rabbits certainly can play havoc with a garden, but can end up paying a heavy price - thanks Judy - Lindsay
