a bunnie christmas...

to you all
near and far

far and wide

and if wide
lay off the 'nog and cookies
will ya
there's not much room here anymore

may love and blessing
be yours

this
Christmas
tide




when the lady walked into the
roomontheleft
on Christmas morning
she found the desk top bunch
all bunched up
on the desk top

 well where else would we be

asked
little joe
as he shimmied up a needle
with what looked like
ball bearings  all in a row

umm what are you doing
asked the lady
decorating the joint
need some spirit around here
oh
said the lady
is that why the pin cushion is on the candle stick
yup
we made our own tree
nifty ain't she
now the lady has to explain something here
it has been a little while since we saw the
desktop bunch
they have grown up
just a tiny bit
and
little joe
seems to have turned into
a
what shall we call him
A WISE GUY
lady caught them watching old
gangster movies once on the
thing that knows all
and
little joe seems to thinks
he's
one of them
so excuse his
rough edges
someone will smooth them out for him
if he
ain't careful
sniff sniff
know what I mean
??
the lady noticed that on the
thing that shows all
was a wonderful sight
the best sight of all
on a Christmas morning
that was
well
not so bright or cold and frosty
but
we can't have everything
now can we
...
what we did have
was the most wonderful
picture of all the bunnies
minus a few
over the Big Pond
with Auntie and her
English country Garden
they had somehow made contact and were
spending a little time together
while the
non bunnies were busy doing
what
non bunnies
do
what ever that is
so they were
telling stories
and
catching up
and having a wonderful visit
the lady
left them there to
enjoy each other's company

and as she left to leave
she heard one of them
she isn't sure who

ask about the
three ships
that had been seen
sailing by
on
christmas morn
on
christmas morn

.........................
three ships??
she asked

and the bunnies
and others
all stopped
and
 looked at each other
and she saw

'a look'
pass between them

you know
one of those
'looks'
that say so much
and yet
are
completely
'silent'

umm
ships
what ships?
asked
fu fu

ships?
we ain't seen no
stinkin' ships
around here
said
little joe
sliding down

ain't nuttin' to see here
no siree nuttin'
so you may as well keep goin'

so the lady gave
little joe
'a look'
of her own
and
left
and

dear readers
something caught her eye as she left
something...
what can we call it
umm...............

a new day....





little bunnie fu fu asked the lady
if she may have a picnic outside
in the outside
to welcome her new desktop companions
and show them what a lovely place they had come to


and the lady said
of course you may
and fu fu ran to where she knew the
carrottss
were kept
 and gathered up a few chocolate eggs  too
and
she finally got to take her
flower blanket outside
and
sit on it


but instead of having
JOE
with her
she had her new friends
who loved the outside
outside
and they all sat on the blanket
in the shade of the dogwood trees
and got to know one another
blue thought he should leave and do some work on his
broken down house
because it didn't look like the
down economy
was going to get up
any time soon


but little joe started with his
namesakes ways and climbed up the plants and flowers
and tried to run after a bee that showed up to see what was for lunch
but lily told him that he might be sorry if he did that
and
fu fu told him he really should behave on the first day of  a new friendship
or they may want to leave
but lily and emily
said they understood
that little joe was
well,
little
and it was alright for him to
frolic
 cavort
romp around
run hither and yon
gambol in the grass
...

and when little joe
saw the carrottss
placed on a leaf on the flower blanket
he hopped right over and helped himself
just like that
and dug in
nibbled
had himself a nosh


so blue went back and sat on fu fu's lap
and when the lady left
they were all happily
chatting
about
this and that
and fu fu asked if she would come back and get them
if the big clouds
without the silver linings
 should come back
and the lady said
of course
and she left them there
on the flower blanket
getting to know one another and
hoping
that all was well now
and there would be no more
heartbreaks for
little bunnie fu fu
who had been through so much
in such a short time
...........

an end and a beginning


little bunnie fu fu
got up on
Easter Morning
and put on her new dress
that the lady had made for her


look how happy fu fu is
!!
with her finely stitched dress
that has lace cap sleeves




and a beautiful picot edge

fu fu felt so much better when she was well dressed
and not hanging around in her strangely made knicker shorts
she is after all
a prim and proper little bunnie
and there is nothing like something new
to make a little bunnie feel good about things
she jumped up and down and squealed a little bunnie squeal
and thanked the lady profusely
for she is also a very polite little bunnie
after all that had happened in such a short time
fu had been feeling a little
down
depressed
verklempt
blue
sapped
beat
and
all wrung out
but now things were looking up
and it felt
good

the lady had shown her all the things that had come in over the
machine that knows all
and the thing that shows all



there was a whole collage of all that had happened
on the other side of the
big pond
and it all looked so
...
as it should

Henri had finally
f i n a l l y
found his way back to
Auntie's Beautiful English Country Garden
and when he'd got off the bus
there
t h e r e
was
JOE
who had also managed to find his way back
the two cousins greeted each other with much relief and joy
and when they had hurried up to Aunties house
they found that she was in fact out
but there
waiting for them
was a little bunnie girl called
Sophie
JOE's new little sister
what a surprise
she let them in and the cousins caught up on all the adventures they had had
over a good strong pot of
coffee
coffee is a good thing to talk over
and
they had much to talk about
.....



the pictures showed Henri making himself at home
choosing his room for the night
the one with the beautiful old rocking chair
that made him feel like he was being rocked by the ocean
for a sailor never really truly gets back his land legs
not after being on so many adventures and quests
as our world travelling marine type
had been on
and when Auntie came home
she was so very
very very very
happy to see her
JOE
and meet his third cousin twice removed
she made them a big hedgehog chocolate cake
and in honour of Henri's nautical background
some pirate cakes
that he thought most appropriate
for a mariner
he could put one in his finely stitched duffel bag and it wouldn't get all sticky

Henri asked Auntie if she still had the goat he had seen in a photo he had found
while looking at her albums
and she said
no she didn't
goats who eat little girl's dresses aren't invited to stay
!!
and then Auntie  told
JOE
that he was going to live with a new family
who would love him as much as she did
and she thought it would be good for
JOE
to grow up with a boy and learn all the things that boys and their toys learn
to be good and solid citizens of the world
and he and his new little sister
Sophie
would live a happy ever after life
and have all the things they would ever ever need
she would miss him dreadfully
but it was best
and
best is always
best
fu fu looked at the lady and asked
is it really
is best always
best
and the lady said
yes fu fu
JOE
and his new little sister
will have a wonderful life
growing up with the children
and you won't have to worry about him anymore
he will be where he should be
and he will be loved for a long
long long
time
just as you will be

and then
the lady said
I have a little surprise for you
little bunnie fu fu
there are some new little members of the
desktop gang
who would very much like to come and stay with you
here on the desk top
and be with
you
and
poppy
and
little joe
and
blue
and because you collected all those clouds with silver linings
they are such a happy bunch
alway smiling and sunny
and
very very very
just what you need types
...
would you like to meet them
and
little bunnie fu fu
said in her
quiet soft way

WOULD I
OH yes PLEASE


well let me introduce you to
Lilly
the lamb
.....
she is made from the softest of  merino wools
and will keep you company always




and let me introduce you to
Emily
who is made of the finest wool too
and she can't wait to get to know you and be your very
very very
best friend

and fu fu noticed
how well dressed Emily was
and that she had some very striking stockings and little tiny shoes on her rather big feet
but fu didn't say that she just thought it
for she is very polite and would never want to hurt some bunnies feelings
fu fu looked at the lady and asked
quietly
so
I won't be seeing
JOE
any more
and the lady said
no
not for  while
but maybe once in a while we'll get to see him and see how he's doing
but you have to know that he will be alright and safe
and the most important of all
he will be loved



and her new little friends put their little tiny lamb and bunnie arms around
fu
and said
we'll be here with you and we'll all grow up and learn all the things we can
and when we see
JOE
he'll know that you are alright and happy and safe
and
most important of all
loved
.....
and fu fu knew that all would be well
JOE
would be well
and
Henri would be well
and on his way soon
to new adventures and quests
and he would send word
when he could
by the thing that knows all
or
magic shells
or carrier pigeon
or
one of his new travel agents

the birds who had carried him so far
to find his long lost
but now found and safe
third cousin twice removed
JOE
fu fu's bun across the big pond

and
although things had turned out for the
best
she would always think of him in the quiet times
and remember the first time she ever saw him

on the thing that knows all

and the thing that shows all



will any of us ever forget
I don't think so
: >  : > : >

au revoir my bun
♥♥♥
whispered fu fu
till we see you again
♥♥♥♥




 and fu fu returned to her new companions
and they sat on the flower carpet
and made plans for the future
a future full of
happy ever afters
......................
and little joe
asked
what does one have to do
to get some chocolate
because you know
it is
EASTER
the day of
all things bunnie
and
more sweets than any
creature could ever
ever ever
need
.......
and with that
they all climbed off the desktop
and went in search of
something
chocolate
........................................................

and the desktop gang
would like to wish
all fu fu fans
a very
Happy Easter

Happy Spring

Happy Happy
....................................

EVERYTHING
