This is rather fun.
A bunny in the oven
I told my baker what I wanted,
Though it might seem funny -
A loaf of bread with paws and head
Shaped like an Easter bunny.
I picked it up on Sunday morn,
A bunny to the life
With golden crust and flour-dust;
I gave it to my wife.
“So realistic!” she exclaimed,
“Its ears so long and floppy,
Its fluffy tail so soft and pale -
I think I’ll call it ‘Hoppy’ “.
But when she turned it upside-down
The crust began to crack,
And uncooked dough began to flow
Revealing hints of black.
Disintegration was complete;
The thing began to waddle.
My baker friend, to serve his end,
Had used a living model.
The rabbit quivered with alarm
That Easter Sunday morn,
Then scampered for the open door
And pooped upon our lawn.
