A Poem in Praise of Rabbits
From Marshmallow by Clare Newberry,
Tell with a bunny puppet.
A bunny is a quiet pet,
A bunny is the best thing yet,
A bunny never makes a sound,
A bunny’s nice to have around.
Puppies whimper, bark and growl;
Kittens mew, and Tom cats yowl;
Birdies twitter, chirp and tweet;
Moo-cows moo, and lambskins bleat;
Some creatures bellow, others bray;
Some hoot, or honk, or yap, or neigh;
Most creatures make annoying noises,
Even little girls and boyses.
A bunny, though is never heard,
He simply never says a word.
A bunny’s a delightful habit,
No home’s complete without a rabbit.
