A Poem in Praise of Rabbits

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 tomcats yowl;

Birdies twitter, chirp and tweet;

Moo-cows moo, and lampkins 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.

 This poem is from the classic children's book "Marshmallow" by Claire Turlay Newberry

  1. Ohohoh! I knew this was from Marshmallow! It’s one of Miss a’s favorite books. You should publish the other poem she writes about the bunny. :P

  2. Malia that is so perfect. I am going to look that book up right now. Hope you are having a wonderful spring with your daughters and lovely mother. Enjoying the longer days and fields of tulips in Laconner right now. So good to hear from you.
