A BUCKS LUCK!

Submitted by - Barry Walker

I was spotted in a shop window by a little lad who dearly wanted a pet. His mum said, "Let's take it because it's the last chance that you'll get". I think she was fed up with him when he kept on changing his mind, And as they were both tired I was the best pet they could find.

So I was taken home with them where they would look after me, To a lovely hutch in a garden where I could look out and see. A lot of grass and flowers and loads of tempting carrot tops too, I was dying to get out to smell it all and have a really good chew.

After a while they let me out to explore and have a good hop round, When I spotted a big fat doe, or so I thought, sitting on the ground. I climbed on her and rolled straight off I could not get a grip, Three times I tried but each time I fell off I felt a proper drip.

I was only trying to woo her but I didn't have much luck, And I heard the dad shout out "It wants lessons from a buck". I didn't know what he was talking about and then I heard him call, "Come and look at this daft rabbit it is trying to court a ball".
      
The family were laughing at my antics and said that they would go, In the car to the nearest pet shop to see if they could get me a doe. I have a girlfriend living with me now but that's not the end you see, The next day they found she was pregnant and it is definitely not by me.
