THE PET RABBIT.

I HAVE a little Bunny with a coat as soft as down, And nearly all of him is white except one bit of brown. The first thing in the morning when I get out of bed, I wonder if my Bunny’s still safe in his little shed.

And then the next thing that I do I dare say you have guessed; It’s to go at once and see him, when I am washed and dressed. And every day I see him I like him more and more, And each day he is bigger than he was the day before.

I feed him in the morning with bran and bits of bread, And every night I take some straw to make his little bed. What with carrots in the morning and turnip-tops for tea, If a bunny can be happy, I’m sure he ought to be.

Then when it’s nearly bedtime I go down to his shed, And say ‘Good night you Bunny’ before I go to bed. I think there’s only one thing that would make me happy quite, If I could take my Bunny dear with me to bed at night?”
