A RABBIT'S LIFE

by Barbi Brown  

Some rabbits' life 

Is full of strife 

They run for cover 

Day and night.

* 

Their fur is soiled 

Their flesh is torn 

Their ears are scared 

Their hearts forlorn. 

* 

But I am one 

Who's kept with care 

And proudly shown 

At County Fair. 

* 

At the show 

I proudly pose 

And love it when 

You pet my nose. 

* 

You brush my fur 

And stroke my head 

I can always count 

On being fed. 

* 

My cage is clean 

With lots of room 

My hay is fresh 

My water cool 

* 

You keep me cool 

In summer's heat

My winter home 

Just can't be beat 

* 

You brings me toys 

And girls and boys 

To tell me how I'm loved. 

* 

I love you too 

I'm sure you know 

That's why I pace the floor 

In hopes it's time to pack and go 

On to the next big rabbit show. 

* 

I"m happy here 

I'm not a fool 

I do not care to run 

A rabbit's life out on it's own 

Is never safe and seldom fun. 

* 

I thank you now 

For love and care 

I truly am 

A lucky hare.
