Rabbit sits lonely and still.
At first she had two beaus,
now none.
By herself in  her roomy cage,
never bred, never kindled,
a spinster at two and a half.
Dzienkuja, pronounced roughly jen-KOO-ya, is the Polish word meaning "Thank you," and is the name of the rabbit.

I originally bought her, a pedigreed Satin, along with two French Angora males, but now she is the only one left, and a solitary rabbit is a lonely rabbit.
