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...............

:) Absolutely wonderful! Made me smile from ear to ear! Their own tree, the pin cushion on the candle, little Joe growing some rough edges (don't they all!) and those walnut ships - with musical sails! Pure magic! Thank you! Auntie (:

... (Meaning thank you from Auntie)...reading back, wasn't sure if it may have looked as though I was thanking Auntie... sorry for any confusion.. Thank you lady and lovely desk-top gang, and very best wishes to you all, from Auntie, Joe, Wrabbit, Sophie, Richard and his Mate, and last but not least, little Mentmore! x♥x♥x
