The Call of the Mild

His life as risky as a goldfish swimming in a bowl As a bunny living with momma in a rabbit hole Never crossed a street without looking both ways An angel in school, drawing teachers' praise One morning he awoke in a cold sweat His trusty alarm clock he'd forgotten to set School would start in less than half an hour Without a balanced breakfast, his future looked dour So he skipped the meal, threw on some clothes Caught a bus without fanfare or fuss But as he got closer and closer to school He saw it was Sunday ~ Was he Mr. Cool

Only a temporary reprieve, I fear. Back to his his high stress existence soon enough...

Oh man! That would be a relief, and yet, you'd be looking around to see who noticed.

I see a very naive fellow, staying in a rabbit hole with his protective mother, never being exposed to the harsh realities of life. The surprise ending made me me exclaim.... 'Yikes' . Really enjoyed !
