A SWEET AND SOUR RABBITS' TALE
A pair of choc’late bunnies,
hidden in the grass,
wait to be discovered
by children after Mass.
Soon the sounds of laughter
saturate the air.
“Unless we are detected soon,
we do not have a prayer.
The sun is rising higher.
Its warmth can now be felt.
We must get the attention
of the kids before we melt.”
They try to scream and holler,
screech and squeal and thump,
click and cluck and whimper-
“If only we could jump.”
Their creamy centers jiggle.
Their hearts of almonds ache.
“We’re doomed!” they think, but then they feel
the earth beneath them shake.
A pair of woolly gophers
pop up below their feet.
“The children now will see us
and save us from the heat!”
Up and down, they’re lifted,
happy with their plight,
until a youngster grabs them both
and takes a giant bite.
