The other day I came across A rabbit, very small. I asked him how his day was ( I know I’m off the wall.) The bunny started laughing. He said, “You crack me up. Now pull yourself together sir, Come over, and we’ll sup.” I couldn’t wrap my head around, How I would get in to The rabbits tiny house, but I, Bit off more than I could chew. ‘A piece of cake’ was what he said, When asked how I would fit. ‘Slow and steady wins the race Just watch how I do it.’ Throwing caution to the wind I curled myself tight More fit than fiddles though I was, I didn’t fit, not quite. Curiosity near killed the cat Or a human in my case So stuck was I, I couldn’t move A problem I did face I pushed and pulled and wheezed and huffed The rabbit left me here Until I got my second wind I was stuck, with no one near A fox was loping past right then And as he went he thought ‘He’s off his rocker to go in A rabbit hole for naught’ Instead of beating round the bush I told myself “Now look” “Get your act together Ned. And out of this tight nook.’ To make a story very short With much work I wiggled free And then to make the matters worse I got stung by a bee I know that they say live and learn And look before you leap But how was I supposed to know It’d go downhill so steep.
