Friday 55

March Hares danced and leapt and boxed.
The reason why? Well, it had me foxed.
Spring Fever could be what's to blame -
unless they do it for a game. 

A spirited, abandoned bunny
is such a sight - it's really funny-
for sparring without boxing gloves
is the way he woos his lady loves! 

Once again, I join the ranks of G-man's  fifty-fivers!

    It's always such a delight to see hares but they are such secretive creatures that it's only in the mating season that I manage occasionally to see them. Now rabbits - our imported furries - are everywhere!!
    Wonderful photo - it really captures the spirit of the female explaining that she's not in the mood!

    I've just discovered that hares were imported by the Romans - and all my life I've believed they were native Britons!!

    Jabblog- I think you’ll find the females don’t box – they only watch as the males battle for their favours!

    Oops - got that wrong, it seems! According to the BBC you're right, Jabblog!

    ...showing their manly muscles? So funny to see them "sparring" like this - they don't look very cuddly... I saw a lot of jack rabbits when we lived in Texas. Interesting "country" way down south! :)

    You make it look so easy. Rhythm and rhyme, your right and left hands. (Also, I gave you a shout-out on my 55 post this week.)
