Disobedient Bunny

A pert little rabbit,
Once lived in a hole,
And just did whatever he pleased;
His ways were so funny,
His antics so droll,
That his parents were terribly teased.

"Now, dear," said his mother,
"You'd best stay at home,
And try to be patient and good."
But No! he was fully
Determined to roam
Through the green and beautiful wood.

So what did he do?
On a fine summer day,
When mother was not to be seen,
He took to his heels,
And scampered away
Right over the meadow so green.

He shook his long ears,
And he whisked up his tail,
His eyes dancing with glee,
As onward he ran
Through a beautiful vale,
And oh! how delighted was he!

'Twas not very long
Till he found a haystack,
Where of course there was shelter and food.
Said he to himself,
"Now, I'll never go back
To my stupid old home in the wood.

"I'll dig myself a nice den
For myself in the hay;
How warm it will be and how nice!
Why in my old burrow
Full many a day
I've often felt colder than ice!"

So bunny soon dug him
A nice little hole,
And made it as round as an O;
And really he looked
So exceedingly droll,
You'd have laughed had you seen him, I know.

But evening drew on,
It was lonely and dark,
So Bunny lay down in his den;
Said he to himself,
"I'll get up with the lark,
And won't I be ravenous then!

"For really this hay,
Though it does for a nest,
Is somewhat too dry for my food;
At home there is clover,
The thing I love best,
And lettuce and carrots so good.

"I wish I had some
At this moment! but then
I'm out on my travels just now,
And I greatly prefer
To reside in this den,
Than at home where there's often a row!

"Ah, well! I feel sleepy,
I'd best go to bed--
But what is that noise that I hear?
There seems to be someone
Right over my head,
I hope that no wild beasts are near!"

Meanwhile an old fox
With a great bushy tail
Was prowling about and around,
But poor little Bunny
Was hidden so well
That never a bit was he found!

When morning had come,
And the fox disappeared,
Then Bunny ca
