I watched a rabbit hopping by
He winked at me and I stayed awhile

His fur snow white and ears so tall
I wondered why a tail so small

I watched him try to eat the grass
much taller than him,such a task

suddenly a huge orange carrot appeared
20 rabbits come and they all cheered

One by one they started nibbling
My gosh! they all started dribbling

My mum called out "Ross time for tea"
No more rabbit watching time for me

I came back the very next day
But all the rabbits had gone away
