she looks so unassuming

We ran to the car and drove to the rabbit farm
We wanted to see the bunny who caused so much harm
This bunny had torn up the hutch, thrown off the door
There was shrieking in the barnyard and a lot more

Watch your step, there is blood, someone said
A fox was thrown out of the coop on his head
Is he dead? Someone asked. Is he DEAD?
I thought there would be humor, I was scared instead.

Is the terror still in there? A teenage bunny asked.
We could hear slapping and hammering, which stopped at last.
Finally emerging was a petite little unassuming bunny.
I am her brother, said the other rabbit, and she ain’t no honey.
