Easter Bunny

by Mary Brandolino

In memory of all the bunnies we couldn't save.
 
I remember Easter Sunday

It was colorful and fun

The new life that I'd begun

In my new cage.

 
I was just a little thing

When they brought me from the store

And they put me on the floor

In my cage.

 
They would take me out to play

Love and pet me all the time

Then at day's end I would climb

In my cage.

 
But as days and weeks went by

I saw less of them it seemed

Of their loving touch I dreamed

In my cage.

 
In the night outside their house

I felt sad and so neglected

Often scared and unprotected

In my cage.

 
In the dry or rainy weather

Sometimes hotter sometimes colder

I just sat there growing older

In my cage.

 
The cat and dog raced by me

Playing with each other only

While I sat there feeling lonely

In my cage.

 
Upon the fresh green grass

Children skipped and laughed all day

I could only watch them play

From my cage.

 
They used to take me out

And let me scamper in the sun

I no longer get to run

In my cage.

 
Once a cute and cuddly bunny

Like a little ball of cotton

Now I'm grown up and forgotten

In my cage.

 
I don't know what went wrong

At the home I did inhabit

I just grew to be a rabbit

In my cage.

 
But they've brought me to the pound

I was once loved and enjoyed

Now I wait to be destroyed

In my cage.

 

Buy a cute Plush Bunny instead...

If you are thinking about a cute little Bunny for Easter, please reconsider.  A Bunny is a 10-year commitment and NO ANIMAL should ever be given as a gift.  The poem here is from the House Rabbit Society webpage.

 

Research any animal before you consider adopting one for yourself.  No surprises will arise when you make an educated decision to add a living creature to your household. 

Never adopt unless you intend on caring for that animal for the rest of its natural life.  That is the only fair and reasonable thing to do!!
