i dont think i want to take
any more of the medicine
you want me to swallow,

i used to take it
when i was a little girl
and it made me feel yucky then,

you're not a very nice wolf are you?

it serves me right    

i shoudnt have peeped in
knowing the warning
of the no trespassing signs
at your guarded gate,

but i pushed for entry,

only to share some of the magic carrots
i thought you'd enjoy,
like some of the other
bunny rabbit friends of mine do,

i will do my about face now
and take the high grass
or is it the low grass home,

who knows?
i'm just a dopey bottlehead blonde anyhow,

my bunnyrabbit shrink told me the other morning
to stay clear of big bad wolves
that don't want to be saved anyhow...

she told me to stop trying to heal them
that that is the very reason
i've come to sit on her couch afterall

she keeps telling me this:

Save myself first.........................

***thanks cousin***

"i'm just a dopey bottlehead blonde anyhow"

Male cow cakes... You are smart enough to seek help....

"my bunnyrabbit shrink told me the other morning"

A "dopey" head would not have the sense to do that...

"Save myself first"  

Perect advice...

The poem has nice structure, easy to read ...content is clear...I like it and my disagreement with some of the content doesn't really matter, your effort to express is what I admire most...

This is an excellent rant - and yes, look to yourself, for when you are overflowing, then you can give so much more to others wihtout losing yourself in the process -

and you one smart bunny wabbit too!  Cute as they come -
