Poet's Corner: Being Funny

Today I was told

To write something funny.

They said I was dark;

So unlike a bunny.

A bunny was

Funny.

For, as it was running,

Along the horizon

It flipped off the forest

And all its denizens,

It shot past the tortoise

And said it was mindless

To think it could beat it

With patience and kindness.

The race had concluded;

The bunny looked restless.

It raged and it swore

At those who detested

Its tactless demeanour,

Its lack of correctness.

We all know who won,

I shan’t go in detail,

Suffice it to say

The race was travail.

The rabbit was rabid;

It was no longer running.

The cute, fluffy bunny

Was no longer funny.
