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!
