Never Raise a Bunny
Now if you want some parting wisdom,
I suggest you listen close
For the words I’m soon to tell you
Will be the thing that matters most
There are lions tough to tame
As there are rivers rare to dry
There are mountains I could climb,
But there is something I won’t try
Have you ever raised a bunny
I should hope your answer is no
With all their fluffy fur and pointed ears
A bunny is sure to go
I bet you'd be surprised
(if you have not a beast your own)
Cause when your sleeping safe and sound
That’s when they strike to make it known
It may start as just a nibble\sounding softly in your ear
But as the nibbling night continues
You’ll begin to shake with fear
And when you wake up every morning
In prayer to make it through the day
It will soon become apparent
That the droppings duplicate
Oh, you'd think that would be the worst part
When it’s wet on your bare feet
But that's only the beginning
Cause these bunnies greet and meet
Imagine leaving home for work
Your bunnies all alone inside
And returning back home
The pick is locked and now there’s five
So I hope this all has helped
Remember everything I’ve said
Unless you're already in danger
Then tuck your sheets above your head

This poem was written as a way of showing my younger sister, who loves bunnies, that having a bunny as a pet is not all that she thought it would be.
