Bunnies, Kitties, And You

 

Analia had just gotten home from shopping and she said that that she had a surprise for me.  But in order to get it I had to do three things for her.  The first was to quit frowning.  I still am not working full time anywhere and I've been a little depressed.  After showing her how ridiculous my face looks trying to smile when the rest of my body is frowning, she conceded the point.  The next was to take Jenny to dance lessons and the last was to write a verse for Jenny's birthday card.  She had a card with a bunny and a kitten on the front and she wanted something that was appropriate.  This poem was the result of that request.

Bunnies, Kitties, And You

 

The world is made up

of wonderful stuff,

Bunnies and kitties

and bears full of fluff,

 

skies full of clouds

and beaches of sand,

Woods full of wonder

that cover the land,

 

Gentle white ponies

with manes of fine silk,

Puppies with muzzles

the color of milk.

 

Of all of the wonders

'neath skies that are blue,

More than bunnies and kitties,

my favorite is you.
