Snuffy's great escape
By tpowell
30 October 2007



I've tried to rise to Josie's challenge - this is a follow up to Rabbit rabbits.

Tracey





     When Meghan gave me my tea
    She didn't close my hutch properly
    I nudged my nose on the door
    And jumped down onto the floor

    I met some rabbits who were grey
    And asked if they wanted to play
    We chased each other around
    Then they showed me underground

    It wasn't as nice as my hutch
    I didn't like it very much
    It was dark and very smelly
    And now I had rumblings in my belly

    I said goodbye and hopped off home
    Vowing never again to roam
    Meghan gave me a great big hug
    And filled my bowl with tasty grub

    I thought it would be fun to run away
    But home is where I want to stay
    I'd much rather sleep in my cosy hutch
    If that's OK, thank you very much

The Challenge

Congratulations on rising to the challenge. May I ask you if your rabbit regularly runs round the garden? We had a rabbit when I was a child who had complete freedom of the garden, but, his silly adventure ended up with him being killed on the road. He thought that burrowing out of "aradise" was a big adventure, but sadly he didn't get back to his hutch.

Thanks Josie, 
 
Snuffy has a run for the garden as it is not escape-proof and I have a labrador as well. 
 
Snuffy also comes inside in the kitchen so he can have a good scamp around. Sorry about your rabbit, the pet shop where we bought Snuffy flooded two days after we got him and all the animal drowned :cry

We used to have rabbits too when I was a kid. They were experts at escaping. They seemed to have a special taste for roses and a talent for digging hidden tunnels ;) 
 
Nice piece of writing.

I usually don't read much of the poetry section, and I am awaiting your next instalment of your book. I like the sentiment and the story line for children of this poem, but I'm afraid I had a few problems with the scanning.

Thanks Jean 
 
sorry for the delay in posting the next chapter of The Green Man but I still have a few minor niggles to iron out. 
 
I promise it will be posted in the next few days :) Thanks for sticking with it.
