One More For Big Kids

Ernest Aris 1947
Hopping Mad?

Six rabbits in search of a burrow
hopped all the way up to Harrow
but when they got there,
they cried out in despair -
the only one left was too narrow!

Thanks to BKM for this week's prompt over at Monday's Child. Okay, so it's Wednesday, but who's counting?

  3. I can imagine their frustration... they need to lose some weight... perhaps... :)

  4. The Scots have a lovely word - "wabbit" (*)
    A perfectly good rhyme for "rabbit"
    Their trip up to Harrow
    chilled them to the marrow
    but "Burrow for Rent"
    made them glad that they went.
    so a wabbit wee rabbit could grabbit.

    (*) Tired, weary, worn out.
