Animal Friends on a Hop-Happy Day

Tim is a scruffy rabbit
who nibbles on the ratty lawn.
And he’s got special, special friend
by the sunny name of Dawn.

And Dawn’s got another friend,
a clever grey squirrel named Anne.
From high atop the biggest tree,
she’s Dawn’s second biggest fan.

And far, far, far overhead,
flies a daffy mallard named Alexander.
He’ll often say nice things about Dawn
but it’s usually a back-hander.

And as she’s just a tiny fawn,
Dawn is generally quite shy.
Sooo quiet, and timid, and wary,
that brash Tim will often sigh:

Come out, come out from that shrub!
It’s time for us to play!
Let’s romp though the grassy fields
because it’s your special, special day.

And sometimes on those special days,
shyly, slyly smiling, out she’ll come.
And Anne and Tim and Alex and Dawn,
through the world they’ll run.

But sometime she won’t,
and that’s also okay,
because they all know
there’ll always be another day.

And that day,
will be
Dawn’s
special, special day.
