STEWY RABBIT

STEWY RABBIT

There was a little rabbit,
His friends all called him Stewy;
He got busy in his kitchen
To make some ratatouille .

He chopped up some potatoes,
He’d dug from a neighbors plot
Some turnips and some carrots -
Naturally with the latter quite a lot.

He filled a pot with water,
And slipped it on the heat.
He fancied that it’s toasty warmth-
Could be a bunny bath time treat.

He dipped a paw into the water,
And found it was just right;
With a hop he leaped into the pot;
Squealing with delight.

Soon Stewy rabbit mused,
That his soak could be made better.
And decided he should season it,
With a pinch of salt and pepper.

He looked at all the vegetables
he had labored to prepare.
He thought what a dreadful waste t’would be-
not to use such tasty fair.

So all the veges tumbled in-
To the simmering pot.
So soak along with Stewy
Until they were nice and hot.

The stock pot simmered slowly,
Soon Stewy was encased,
By an aroma so enticing,
He just had to have a taste.

He sipped the soupy liquid,
In a manor most judicious.
And soon proclaimed with great delight
The verdict- “I am delicious.”
