Bunny Rabbit Refuge at the Border Fort
67There's a bunny rabbit refuge at the Border Fort near Palominas, Arizona
Never wrote this up for the public eye, but now I think I'm gonna
Gotta keep a sharp watch on the hawk right there flying overhead
So I freeze in place, never twitch my face; Mom moved and now she's dead
Whew! The hawk is gone...but, hey, what's that unidentifiable sound
My eyes stay glued to a single spot while my ears swivel around
Oh, hey, okay, it's no big deal, just Ghost's Canon PowerShot
Making that shutter-clicking sound, recording my every thought
Huh! Wouldn't you know, now the light is low so he gets out the tripod
And the red light blink from the shutter delay is spooking me a lot!
I watched Pam's son from the deeper brush when he came out recently
And washed those windows on the Border Fort to let Ghost's camera see
Photographing my ass through thermopane glass while I"m still stuck out here
Gotta groom my feet, be clean and neat when my photographs appear
The moon is up though the sun's not down, a most dangerous time of day
Gotta stick close to the Border Fort when the coyotes come to play
Pam has let those critters know she loves them right out there
And they don't hunt next to the house--am I a rabbit or a hare?
Ghost has said when he gets rich and has the coin in hand
He's going to make some rabbit hides for our refuge on this land
Now, I don't know what a coin might be, but I know I'm rich as such
Rich in friends at the Border Fort; I appreciate them much
But now we get to politics and why this coming fall
The People of America will rise up one and all
The humans have a job to do if we're to survive the year
There's a thing they call the economy and jobs and--and, oh dear!
I really don't know how these things go; I'm just a bunny rabbit
Who ducks the predators and chews the underbrush from habit
But from what I hear it's pretty clear they must defeat Obama
Or redhead Pam will need to slam big doses from Big Pharma
Excuse me while I shift a bit and chow down on some brush
Remember to listen to Hannity and maybe even Rush
I will not cry; I'll keep an eye on the GOP campaign
And hope y'all do nominate a man with both principles and brain
Mitt Romney's got an ad campaign that's having great effect
Even border bunny rabbits have to give that some respect
But no matter who's the one you choose, he's better than Barack
That pessimistic President and his socialistic flack
Please know that I will keep an eye on the campaign over time
But You the People need to do the wading through the slime
Until the day you say okay and hit that ballot box
Please keep us free, us rabbits we, need Liberty, not socks!
Remember in November!

Fred - No offense but deep fried rabbit is one of my favorites.
The Frog
I had 5 acres west of Tucson, and one of the things I miss about that place was all the critters, like quail, rabbits, and coyotes.
My best friend has about 20 acres in a canyon north of Lake Pleasant, and it's pristine desert just loaded with critters.
Great pics!

We definitely need a cute button. I have needed one about a dozen times today.
