We lost him in the woods

 

It was, in fact, a bunny.

The fur, the ears – we saw it hop,

No squirrel could trick us so.

No tree, no bee – no honey,

No turtle moving slow

It had to be a bunny.

Smaller than a horse it was

No bugeyes like a frog,

No nest above the tree line –

No taller than a log,

I swear it was a rabbit

I’ve seen pictures in a book

I even know what page they’re on

But I’d have to take a look,

My memory’s not what it was

For some, that’s hard to take,

But sure as I am standing here

I know it was a snake.
