Saga of An Barren Bunny

I have a proclivity to be lengthy, But in this case, I will do it succinctly. This is the saga of an infertile bunny named In Grating Who was run out of a meadow for not procreating. He had the temerity to act like he did not care, Which made him pretty bold for a quite-so young hare. If you do not realize how serious was this, I can assure you, certify, and attest. That this poor unfortunate, with no real rest, This young man bunny with this little defect Was not brought back or given any respect Until his well-loved cousin, a fellow named Barrow Needed a transplant of the barren Bunny’s bone marrow. They brought him back in, rescuing him from a tent in the ghetto. They stroked him, and petted and gave him the keys to the meadow. The best part of this saga, the part that makes your heart sing. Is that he met a bunny nurse name of Widow Irene. He noticed her right away, through a tiny aperture in the door, She was beautifully built, gorgeous, and more. I have to tell you, he soon picked up on her nuance and glance, That she was ready to take him home, and give him a nice private dance. Irene already had sixteen bunnies, and a pile of money. So the Infertile bunny, became her delighted lifelong honey.

Thank you P.S. I always try for something a bit "off" or"odd".

G'day Caren ... you did a great job incorporating the eight words, and the topic - a barren rabbit - certainly unusual, but effective - thank you Caren - Lindsay

Thank you Lindsay. I figured maybe there would not be so many who chose to do it on a barren rabbit.

Wow, a barren bunny is indeed a rare thing! Such a sweet ending, though!

I always try to leave on an optimistic note or a sad note or a mean note, something to remember me by.

Thank you Sherry. I had difficulty fitting in one teeny tiny required word, but once that was done - smooth sailing.

Wren, never, ever, ever, ever give up. Marrow has two meanings in the dictionary if that helps.
