"Hopping Good morning"

morning delight
hopping into my sight
there is a young rabbit
that comes at first light
who has the birdseed habit
falling seeds to the ground
not making a sound
I see him from the cabin window
above my kitchen sink as I make my way
with my first espresso of my day
his eyes are on the sides of his head
he must be able to see from bed
his ears are so big
he must be able to hear a cracking twig
his nose is always twitching
he must be smelling or itching
he is as quiet as a louse
and not easily frightened
like a mouse in the house
rabbits have found their way
into many stories today
but to have the easter bunny name
must be the their greatest
claim to fame
its said peter rabbits name is best
and they may be right
but what about the rest
their stories are a delight
barely out of our sight
it is a good question
why are they so renowned
when all they do
is just hop around
