Rabbits don’t like Snow

Lappy pokes his head out of the ground  
He’s so cautious he barely shows his chin  
Daring to take a break from home sweat mound  
The kiss of snow makes him dart back in

A second time the daring rabbit raises his ears  
Like a periscope searching for his fears  
The wind howls as it blows  
Yet he lets the frost nip his nose

What fun there is to be had here!  
So full of things that are new  
This place that inspires wonder and cheer!  
Then back to the hole after a loud “A - CHOO!”

“This cold tickles my nose and makes me sneeze  
I can’t stay long in this biting breeze  
Surely rabbits stay in holes, less they freeze!  
My nose is already numb, geez!

So Lappy reluctantly locked the door  
Grumbling that his hole was a terrible bore  
But the white stuff coaxed him back for more  
“I’m not gunna let fear stop me from having fun” he swore 

So Lappy jumped with glee and played hard   
His ability to enjoy life was no longer barred  
He bravely leapt into a different world  
Around the snow he leaped and twirled

“God, let me be normal – rabbits don’t like snow”   
he once desperately prayed  
But the urges to be in the frost made him go  
Now he is no longer afraid
