Bugs Bunny
What's up doc repeats Bugs Bunny
thinking he's being cute and funny
sounding like a wily parrot
while posing chewing on his carrot

Bugs Bunny
Bugs Bunny loves his carrot snack,
He tricks his foes and never looks back.
“Eh, what’s up, doc?”—his teasing cue,
A clever rabbit who’s quick and shrewd too.
Poet’s Note:
Inspired by Bugs Bunny’s famous 1940 line, “Eh, what’s up, doc?”.

Vegetable Matter
If a conflicted carrot
based on its looks
could feel it's a parsnip
it would be a turnip for the books
and should confused chard
on corn do a number
lettuce hope the offspring
isn't a baby cucumber
some plants are quite confounded
in my garden bed
sadly the rhubarb is convinced
it's celery badly sun-burned red

Magic Rabbit
A funny-looking bunny dropped by the other day
black white and brown fur a stray who'd lost his way
and
he let me hand-feed him with carrot tops
and spinach leaves but that is where familiarity stops
for
neither petting nor patting would he permit
this half-wild half-tame non-cottontail misfit
and when
with leaps and bounds he hopped while binking
around the garden it got

ORANGE
The rising sun cheers all to start the day with liveliness.
Carrots and pumpkins feed all to feel the day with abundant energy.
Marigolds in the vase welcome all to face the day with passion and assertiveness.
Butterflies in the garden wish all to make their day dynamic and exuberant.
Traffic cones on the road alert all to deal

Pineapples
Pineapples are a great fruit.
Love in a cold drink.
Makes carrot cake so special.
Chocolate is fun.
Hawaiian grown fruit.
It's for me,
Loved.

carrot and stick
blood sweat and tears leave
no stone unturned move heaven
and earth pull your weight
go to great lengths make
a supreme effort bust a
gut and go all out

ball rolling take pains

Carrot Top NOT FOR CONTEST
Carrot top played truth or dare
Soaked the pool with his hair
He was too ashamed
To lose the game
Instead he got chlorine in red hair

carrot and cabbage pies
Detroit rabbit couple ride their fish balloon in the Michigan skies
They like what they are throwing; there is happiness in their eyes
We wonder if they know what they are doing; as they throw out some pies
Made of carrots and cabbages, not delectable unless you are flies.

Harold the Hugh Hefner wannabe carrot top
Harold the Hugh Hefner wannabe carrot top...
spry buck analogous to energizing bunny
jump/kickstarted procreation ruckus.
Home on the range
cacophony quite absurd
PlayBoy Bunny herd
and felt ingratiatingly inured,
nevertheless colony or nest
of doe eyed demoiselles
stewed over their
kit and caboodle being cannibalized
gourmet chef “coney” or “lapin”
delicacy the magic word.
Ruled his hare'm
nsync with trumpeting

If That Is Carrot Tea
Carroll is hypnotizing his students is what I hear
From Tweedly Dee or Tweedly Dum, not quite clear.
I began backing away from the portal of course.
Not needing any friction from this imaginative Norse.
Alice is on board, as is the mad hatter.
Are you sure? Well, this was kind of the chatter.
Did not know what to make of

Have You Seen the Sexy Carrot Dance
Have you seen the sexy carrots dance?
The what carrots?
The sexy carrots?
I don’t think so.
Then you haven’t.
How do you know?
You would have remembered.
They are something to see.
