There's Nothing like a Rabbit on Your Lap<br />

Poem<br />

a rabbit on my lap.<br />

electric fur against my always fur.<br />

Limerick<br />

A magician's assistant, Miss Frappe,<br />

If it isn't like a rabbit<br />

Or a monkey or a turnip or a rat?<br />

and very slightly drunk he'd<br />
