My Pet Bunny

There are lots of pets in this big wide world

And some aren’t quite right in the head

There are cats that insist they’re not cats at all

But friendly dogs instead


And then they are dogs who think they’re cats

They’d rather purr than bark

But I’ve got the weirdest pet of all

A bunny that thinks she’s a shark


She’s really quite demented

And she ought to be on meds

She’s fond of swimming in the bath

And tearing rubber ducks to shreds


She’s horrible to visitors

Like my sister’s boyfriend, Brendan

She stalked him for a while

Then sunk her teeth in his Achilles tendon


She sharpens her bunny teeth with a file

To perfect her frightening grin

And she’s tied a banana to her back

(She considers it her fin)


She slides along the carpet

Like she’s gliding through the sea

And she’s keen on blood, so she shows up

Whenever someone skins a knee


Yes, she thinks she's a shark, and we’re not really sure

Where on earth she got the notion

But at this point we think it might be best

To release her in the ocean

  1. Did you know the a group of bunnies is called a fluffle?

    Sadly its not, but I think a campaign should be started to change this.

    A group of porcupines is, however, called a prickle.

  2. i heartily agree. a group of bunnies should be called a fluffle. and while we're on the subject, a group of ducks is called a paddling. which is awesome.
