Leisure World Shopping

I live in Leisure World where the grass is green, and bunnies that munch it can always be seen.

For those little guys, it is essential to breed fast, indeed, exponential.

So, a rabbit’s life is never dull, and their population is plentiful.

But, this ain’t no kiddie cartoon show, and every coyote that I happen to know always makes it the strictest habit to bag a furry bunny rabbit.

These canine delinquents and the crows, fast friends, play, “who spots the rabbit first, wins.”

Walking the sidewalks like shopping aisles, coyotes are seen with contented smiles.

I say, “Bless their sly little hearts and their bunny-filled shopping carts.”
