AND THEY LIVED HOPPILY EVER AFTER

Ricardo Rabbit loved Bonnie Bunny,

She had the cutest cottontail.

Every time he laid eyes on her,

His heart rate increased without fail.

Ricardo asked Bonnie out one night,

And they went to the Meadows to dine.

They feasted on fresh carrot cake,

While enioying a glass sweet clover wine.

When it came to being attentive,

Ricardo had no peers.

Anytime Bonnie had something to say,

Ricardo Rabbit was all ears.

Bonnie Bunny loved Ricardo Rabbit,

He was smooth, suave, and debonair.

She accepted when he proposed,

And their marriage was a hoppening affair

Bonnie Bunny had many litters,

The size of their family was whopping.

Having all those bouncing babies around,

Sure kept Ricardoo and Bonnie hopping.

As the years went by,

The hares began turning gray.

But still they loved each other,

And were hoppy every day.

If ever Bonnie thought she was losing her appeal,

Ricardo would tell her she made his days sunny.

And from the deepest burrows of his heart,

She’d always be his snuggle bunny.
