MFFFC 12-29-25 – Poor Rabbit

***

Martha, I think you’ve gained more weight

A pound or two more and a broken branch our fate

Don’t be silly, Gertie, it’s the holidays

It’s been decided – no more weighs

On the contrary, Ethel, since you’re the skinniest one

You’d love the weigh in, thinking it fun!

All three chicks ate too much last year

The farmer’s axe loomed too near

As he walked by and said hello

The three scrunched together so he wouldn’t know

Who was the fattest or who the least

But he had a rabbit in his hand for the feast.
