Unlucky Bunny, Smug Cat

My bunny got stuck, he ran out of luck When a pigeon swooped low on the roof To make things worse, help was scarce But my bunny remained aloof He spent every day in a hutch full of hay Above the trees and houses He loved most of all to jump on the wall And munch on my neighbors trousers Now trapped in a pipe, he smelled a bit ripe He had to get out of here soon Then he had an idea and flipped up his ear The cat would be over the moon Before too long he felt a wet tongue Licking the tip of his ear The timing was right, it was just before night He was going to escape from here He persuaded the cat who was lazy and fat To bring him a rope from the shed He bit on the end and beckoned his friend To tie it around her head 'Please' said my bunny, who was feeling all funny 'Help me, I'm in deep strife' 'What's it to me?' Said the cat full of glee 'You have to save my life' The cat said 'Okay' and without delay She pulled on the rope with her paws My bunny flew out of the drainage spout And landed safe on all fours If my bunny was hurt while I was not alert Myself I'd never have forgiven So I moved his bed to the garden shed Now the high life is truly forbidden!

Kerrina, this is outstanding. The poem meets the demands of a simplistic music that children need to require an appreciation. The story maintains an interest (even with a kid who has a severe case of ADD). there is nothing simplistic about the work that went into writing this. It shows a great deal of skill and an obvious love, that this partuicular craft demands. A beautifully appealing poem.

This is excellent. I like the flow of the quatrains and the alternating rhyming scheme. Welcome to the Soup! ~Joseph
