-A Chilling Start To The New Year-
“Oh, those pesky wabbits!”
Elmer Fudd
I usually walk with my dogs
But, for those sub-zero nights
I built a six-foot backyard fence
So I could stay inside with delight
That fence also protects my canines
From most wild critters, on the prowl
But yesterday, a determined little rabbit
Got into that fenced backyard, somehow
And I never noticed that he was out there
When I let my five mutts out that backdoor
Immediately, all five were in very hot pursuit
Chasing that terrified rabbit all around, Oh Lord
Without thinking about the nasty sub-zero weather
I raced out into the yard, clad only in my bathrobe
I began screaming at my mutts to stop chasing him
All five stopped and stared at me, in the bitter cold
I soon managed to corner that totally petrified rabbit
And scooped him up into my now nearly frozen arms
And then, I marched on over to the old backyard gate
Releasing him and whispering, “You’re now out of harm.”
As I hurriedly rushed back toward the house in my bathrobe
I felt some satisfaction that I had saved that tiny critter’s life
All five of my mutts were still staring at their whacky master
And soon, from the window, hideous taunting, from my wife
“Yoo Hoo! Mr. Elmer Pee Wee Fudd, where’d that cwazy wittle wabbit go?
I think you’ve gone senile; you’re supposed to wear clothes out in the snow!”
And as I rushed back inside, I now dreaded the fact that she had seen me
Wondering how I’d ever get back at her, since this one, she’d never let go
“Hey, Elmer! You better put on some clothes before you shovel snow;
And you just might want to find your boots and socks. Ho, Ho, Ho!”
“Yes, Dear…”
(Oh, those pesky wives.)

You need to take her to femanimal training or one of the dogs could.
Paw iccle wabbit. Next thing, you'll be out, the garden will have been full of wabbits and you'll just say. "Nice new fur coat dear." What's in the stew.
For a minute there Ed I thought you'd been playing with too much of the old white stuff, and I don't mean snow.
Just kidding. This is a masterpiece. And a well thought up one at that.
Best wishes, Gerry Hackenabush Tate
Loved it!

WABBIT? WHAT WABBIT?
Just last nite, saw a commercial with Elmer in it -
pointed out his inability to say the letter R -
HAVE NO IDEA WHICH PRODUCT WAS BEING 'HAWKED'
but still loved Elmer's 'cwazy wabbit' voice!
'wubber baby buggy-bumpews' ... say that 3 times fast ... TomKat.
Peace, love, and light, Happy New Year!
