THE TALES OF TONY RABBIT (Updated 17/5/2014)





THE TALES OF TONY RABBIT

By Frances Harris


Two king bunnies, J. and T.
Went walking, one fine day,
They were on a mission,
To see what they could see,


They saw a chance to benefit,
Looking for some loot,
The soil was moist and fertile,
Perfect for new growth,


Their heads turned left,
Their heads turned right,
Saw carrots in the soil,
Just likely for the taking,


They nodded in agreement:
Opportunity is rife,
Waiting for the moment,
Working on the foil,


The farmers’ at the market,
Buying bags of seed,
Bolstering their paltry lives,
An ambush in the making,


Eyes grew bright,whiskers twitched,
They were in agreement,
Too much food for keeping,
The treasury might need it,


The bunnies wrote a careful list,
Divided it by four,
They checked again to see it all,
The farmer, little more,


Both of them walked further,
Listing all the loot,
When Clive the angry bull dog,
- Chased them up the street.
