In springtime the rabbits in our canyon Produce with prolific abandon Our dogs take up chase To hunt down post haste But never can catch up or bag one. Written on 2/16/2015 Limerick

I had one of mine drag in a baby bunny...not a pretty sight...probably harder to catch in the open canyon...excellent limerick.... Hugs Tim

Yikes! Sometimes there have been bunnies in our yard, too. But the dogs haven't managed to catch one yet!

It is funny to see the dogs go at it! In vain, of course! :)

I can just picture a couple of dogs chasing after hundreds of rabbits without any luck. Good limerick! Love, Kim

Thanks, Kim. It's true! Those bunnies are a lot faster than my dogs, that's for sure! :)
