he never did get baked into a pie by Mr. McGregor
despite his mama wringing her paws and sending him direct to bed
without his supper just about every other day for venturing too far.
in later years, his one eccentricity as a rabbit billionaire
was eating blackberries on the hour with a gallon of cream
he grew quite portly, wore vests in every colour
the lilac one on Sundays,
a solid gold railroad watch.
taught his children manners
and how to forage for themselves.
Flopsy and Mopsy cried copious tears at the funeral
but we all know better.
