WHAT DO BUNNIES DO?

I am perplexed, and I am vexed,
Because I wish I knew,
If Doggies bark and Cats meow,
Just what do Bunnies do?

Roosters crow from rooftops,
Chickies cluck from down below,
Little Lambs go, "Baa - Baa - Baa,"
But how do Bunnies go?

Donkeys bray and say, "Hee Haw,"
Ducks and Geese go, "Quack - Quack - Quack."
And I've heard Horses "Whinn-ny," too,
But how do Bunnies answer back?

Lions in the jungle, "Roar-r,"
Snakes go, "Hiss - Hiss - Hiss,"
Ocean Whales make funny wails,
But Bunnies do not sound like this.

So, I guess we have established,
That Bunnies cannot talk,
Now, consider this, my friend,
Bunnies also cannot walk.

Both Cats and Dogs can chase small balls,
And Mares and Horses trot,
Lions chase their prey all day,
But Bunnies only hop.

Dogs wag their tails, and Cats do, too,
And Lions shake their manes,
But Bunnies' cotton tails don't move,
They just remain the same.

Now, if Bunnies cannot talk nor walk,
Nor even shake their tails,
How do Bunnies earn their keep?
Aren't they worth more than Snails.?

Good Question!  I thought hard about that,
Why keep them around?
I wondered, and I pondered,
And this is what I found.

They snuggle and they cuddle best
Of all the living things on earth,
With noses twitchin' - they're good for kissin',
And that's how they maintain their worth.

Their wiggling ears make children laugh,
And - oh my - can Bunnies hug!
I think when God created them,
Their first ingredient was love.

The primary reason Bunnies are here,
To which we'll all agree,
Is they make the world a happier place,
For kids like you and me!
