Of Dust Bunnies and Laundry Hamsters

Dust Bunnies 

Dust Bunnies


Dust bunnies, dust bunnies live everywhere,
Hiding in the sofa and under the chair
Dancing and twirling in the mornings light
Scampering and hiding during the night

Around the corner I see them peek
In a game of Hide and Go Seek
And under the bed where they sleep at times
they keep me entertained with dust bunny rhymes

Laughing and singing dust bunny songs,
dancing around me when I come along
Leaping and playing without a care
They tickle my feet and play with my hair

Dancing and hiding and playing their games
Hitching rides on old toy trains
Looking for treasures in every drawer,
finding a penny and looking for more

Looking forward to each new day
and looking for new friends along the way
With nothing to trouble their soft furry minds
they look to the future and never behind

If we watch them play for even a while
The Dust bunny logic can make you smile
Much can we learn from what dust bunnies teach
Happiness and Joy is not out of reach

 
Dust Bunnies at Play


A small dust bunny woke early one day,
smiling, happy and ready to play.
It smiled and sang its happy song,
and the rest of the bunnies all sang along.

They hopped and danced to the bunny tune,
from under the bed to each of the rooms.
Laughing and playing bunny games too,
ready for a new day with new things to do.

Ready to play new bunny games,
to tell stories and ride paper airplanes.
Making bunny treats are so much fun,
chocolate and peppermint snacks for everyone.

Out into the yard the Dust bunnies go,
to plant a garden, and watch it grow.
In neat little rows two by two,
carrots and squash and wildflowers too.

All of the dust bunnies singing their song,
making up lyrics as they sing along.
All through the day until the sun goes down,
the dust bunnies are happy, you don't see a frown.

One more game of hide and seek they play,
before they decide to call it a day.
One by one they crawl back to their beds,
and have dust bunny dreams running through their heads.

 
Dust Bunnies at the Zoo


I was awoken this morning by the sound of fuzzy feet
the dust bunnies were awake and playing hide and go seek
I knew it was early, pulled the covers over my head
and before I knew it, the dust bunnies filled my bed

They snuck under the covers and tickled my feet
they hopped on the headboard and offered me treats
They woke me up early to start a brand new day
filled with wonders and new games to play

"Good Morning, Good Morning", I heard them all sing
as they danced all around me in a dust bunny ring
They laughed and they played as I made us all cereal
to make sure we started off with a nice healthy meal

When breakfast was over and the dishes were done
the dust bunnies bounded off to go have some fun
Hiding in the bookcase to look for hidden treasures,
and riding the ceiling fan are simple dust bunny pleasures

I gathered them all up and we went outside
on such a nice day we went for a ride
I decided to take them all somewhere that was new
and we all loaded up to go to the zoo

Happy little dust bunnies filed out two by two
looking in amazement with so much to do
They got to see the elephant and giraffe
and watched the monkeys and got a great laugh

They all got a look at the zebra and the seal
and then we all sat down for a break and a meal
They shared with the pigeons and the squirrels too
and had lots of fun there at the big zoo

We went to the pool when we finished our meals
and got to see the dolphins and seals
They saw the big lion and the crocodile
(and saw on the map that it came from the Nile)

They even saw the bats sleeping upside down
and a mother tiger carrying her cub around
Every little dust bunny got an elephant ride
and laughed when they watched how the otters slide

It was getting late when I looked at the clock
but they all got a toy at the souvenir shop
They all waved goodbye at their friends at the zoo
and as we were leaving the animals waved too

All to the house the dust bunnies did talk
about the animals they saw on their walk
and how happy they were to go somewhere new
and all of the friends they made at the zoo

 
Dust Bunnies in Spring


The Dust Bunnies were playing,
on a day in spring.
Enjoying sunny games,
and learning many things.

They played with the squirrels,
and the field mice too.
On a sunny day,
there was very much to do.

One climbed a tree,
to learn the robin's song.
Another was running with a squirrel,
playing tag as they went along.

They enjoyed the day,
in the springtime breeze.
Then they shared their meal,
of bunny treats and cheese.

They watched the shapes in the clouds,
that were in the air so high.
They watched the speed of hummingbirds,
as they sped so quickly by.

On the back of a friendly turtle,
they then went for a ride.
Who told them stories of ages past,
of a prince and his bride.

They watched a small lizard,
who could change from brown to green.
Each agreed that its special trick,
was the best they had ever seen.

The sun was getting low,
and the bunnies had to get along.
They waved goodbye to all their friends,
and sang the robins song.

 
Dust Bunny Angel


The dust bunnies have an angel
with patchwork wings of white,
who watches over them as they play
and as they sleep at night

She keeps them safe as they play
all their bunny games,
and loves the sound of their laughter
and knows each dust bunny name

She keeps them safe from all harm
as they run and play,
and watches over each one
throughout every day

She makes sure they don't bump their heads
or hurt themselves climbing trees.
She makes sure that they don't get stung
by ants, wasps or bees

Sometimes she sits there quietly
listening to their songs,
or gently persuading them away
from doing anything wrong.

She sits upon a small white cloud
or sometimes upon a shelf
"I have the best job in the world”
she often says to herself

For she watches little dust bunnies
play in the mornings light
and enjoys their songs and laughter
and dust bunny stories at night

 
Dust Bunny Band


The dust bunnies had an idea so bold and so grand
They decided to make a dust bunny band
with flutes and horns and lots of drums
They all got started, it was loads of fun

Looking for instruments was such a fun chore
When a good one was found they would hunt for more
A tiny toy drum and a small baby rattle
and a horse that went "Neigh" when you pulled on the saddle

A Christmas tree trumpet all covered in string
Small toy guitars and brass bells to ring
Bicycle horns that blew some strange notes,
And a little toy banjo with a string that was broke

A xylophone that was made of Popsicle sticks
and a New Year’s toy that made some strange clicks
a little toy flute and a wind chime
all were gathered by them in due time

When they were ready they made up some chairs
from toothpicks and cloth that they had found there
All arranged and seated with instruments in hand
They started a concert of the Dust Bunny Band

Their first song was soft, gentle and sweet
Followed by a break for dust bunny treats
Then they returned with smiles on their faces
all with their instruments and back to their places

They performed music with a smile on everyone
I applauded loudly when they were all done
And as they danced and did bows all around
I was amazed at the beauty of the dust bunny sound

People tend to not hear the music life makes
they shut it away, the biggest mistake
But the dust bunnies laughter in the name of fun
Produces the sweetest music under the sun

 
Dust Bunny Camping


The dust bunnies went camping with me last week,
in a place that I know of near a clear cool creek.
We started out that morning and hiked past the trees,
singing and playing in the cool winter breeze.

They played with the squirrels in a game of squirrel tag,
offered it peanuts from out of a bag.
As they hiked they sang bunny songs,
dancing and playing as they marched along.

They got to explore the camping place,
with looks of wonder on every bunny face.
They saw the leaves of orange, red and yellow,
and saw the tracks of raccoons and armadillo.

They all helped putting up the tents,
and then had a snack of bunny trail mix.
They looked around and found new things,
petrified wood, and a feather from a birds wing.

They looked across the stream and saw a grown deer,
and all were excited to see it so near.
They watched it take a sip from the stream,
and disappear in the forest as silent as a dream.

The sun was setting so we made a small fire,
and sat around it singing songs for a while.
Roasting marshmallows and making treats,
watching the sunset as we eat.

Soon all went inside their little tents,
tired little bunnies, their energy all spent.
They giggled and played until they went to sleep,
listening to the sounds of the water in the creek.

The next day it was time to break camp,
I fed them all breakfast and turned out the lamp.
As we cleaned the campsite, I saw them all look
and wave to the deer that they saw at the brook

Dust Bunny Dream (the Balloon)


A dust bunny had a dream,
so real did it seem.
of flying away in a balloon.

Way up high in the air,
it soared without care,
in the light of the crescent moon.

Past the pyramids of Egypt,
and masted sailing ships,
that lay anchored in the deep blue sea.

It heard angels sing,
as they flew on pure white wings,
watching over you and me.

It flew over England and France,
and watched people dance,
in the castles that are there.

On the highest mountain,
animals played around a fountain,
and waved at the bunny in the air.

It flew toward the stars,
past the Earth and Mars.
Up, up, up to outer space.

There it saw the Milky Way,
but knew it could not stay,
although it was a beautiful place.

So with the night almost gone,
the balloon took it home,
back to its friends and family.

It flew back to its bunny bed,
with a fluffy pillow under its head,
as the morning light rises for all to see.

 
Dust Bunny Dreaming


The dust bunnies were all sleeping,
sleeping in their beds.
Each had fun dreams,
fill their little heads.

One was dreaming of the zoo,
with lions, tigers and bears.
Dreaming of a party,
with all the animals there.

Another was dreaming about,
going to outer space.
Skiing on a comets tail,
to a fun filled place.

To a circus, another dreamed,
to see the funny clowns.
Watching the acrobats,
and trapeze artists hang upside down.

Another dust bunny dreamed of the sea,
and of dolphins, fish and whales.
It dreamed of mermaids with long green hair,
and of a boat with golden sails.

One dreamed of the snow,
glistening a purest white.
A place to build snow bunnies,
that would play in sheer delight.

Another dreamed it was a knight,
with a mount called Belvidere.
Rescuing the smallest princess,
from monsters far and near.

Up in the air, another dreamed,
on a red balloon,
Flying over forest and field,
and over the desert's dunes.

All dust bunnies have pleasant dreams,
when they go to sleep.
No bad dreams come their way,
and no nightmares do creep.

They dream such dreams of fairy tales,
and in the morning light,
they share their adventures with others,
of their dreams at night

 
Dust Bunny Easter


The Bunnies all gathered happily around my feet
Last night too excited to hardly even sleep
Yet when the dawn came I heard them all say
"Wake up, wake up, because it is Easter Day."

As I roused myself amongst the dust bunny cheers
I helped them to wash their faces and ears
I then set them down in furry little rows
and dressed them all up in their Easter clothes

All pretty and clean we left with a lurch
all in the car to go to a small church
There sitting on old hymnals so they could see
there they all learned how Easter came to be

They listened in silence as the old preacher spoke
of the three days in a tomb until the Savior woke
It was the first time I've seen them still for such a while
but when they all left each wore a small smile

But when we came home it was so much fun
when they saw a colored basket for everyone
With shrieks of delight they hurried around
looking to see what wonders that could be found

Peeking in drawers and under chair legs
dancing and laughing when they found chocolate eggs
All went in a pile in the middle of the floor
where they emptied their baskets to look for some more

Looking under the couch and in the bookcase
finding them all, no egg was safe
After the hunt they had chocolate eggs and treats
and curled up on the sofa and softly fell asleep

I sat and watched them, asleep in a pile
and noticed that even sleeping, they softly smile
I wonder at times on what's in their soft dreams
But they still show me each day what Easter means

 
Dust Bunny from Outer Space


Flying in a rocket ship, with a smile on its face,
comes a unique dust bunny .One from outer space.
It sits at bunny sized controls while gazing at planets and moons,
thinking of new things to see, and friends it will make soon.

It played hopscotch on Saturn's rings, got a suntan on Mercury,
built a snowman on Pluto, and on Venus it planted a tree.
It rode the tail of Haley's Comet because it won't be around again soon,
and sat talking and eating moon pies with the man in the moon.

It watched the Earth's dust bunnies through a telescope,
and decided to visit these happy little folk.
So it loaded up its spaceship with space bunny treats,
and off to Earth it did fly to find new friends to meet.

The dust bunnies were all playing when the spaceship did land,
and out popped the space bunny with bunny gifts in hand.
It showed the dust bunnies lots of things from its travels to the stars,
and told them stories and sang songs that it learned in Mars.

They played and danced all through the day until time to go to bed.
The dust bunnies wanted it to stay but it had to go instead.
The space bunny would return and visit them all very soon,
but it had to get supplies for the man in the moon.

The space bunny comes to visit now, once or twice a week,
to play with Earth's dust bunnies and to give them treats.
Dust bunnies are all the same, whether in Earth or outer space,
all they want are new friends and a smile on everyone’s face.

The space bunny still ice skates on Pluto, and sees the man in the moon.
It dances in Jupiter's atmosphere and visits beaches in Neptune.
If you look through a telescope, you might see the strangest thing,
the little space dust bunny playing hopscotch on Saturn's rings.

 
Dust Bunny Halloween


The dust bunnies are in a hurry,
getting ready for Halloween.
decorating the house in a flurry,
in black, orange and green.

They are putting up spooky ghosts
and decorating every wall.
Trying to see who can put the most
decorations in the hall.

They all are dressed up
ready for Halloween night.
Each has punch in a cup
lit up with a green glow light.

One is dressed in toilet paper,
as a bunny mummy,
another is dancing a little caper,
dressed as a clown so funny.

One has wings and is a bat,
and another is a tinfoil knight,
One is dressed as a kitty cat.
All are dressed up for Halloween night.

The laundry hamster is also coming tonight,
snacking on a green sock.
dressed up with a bubble pipe
as the detective Sherlock.

The Halloween party starts soon,
so we go to the party place.
Under the light of the full moon,
There are smiles on every face.

A pumpkin was glowing bright,
at the party door.
Glowing with an eerie light
at those dancing across the floor.

The bunnies were having fun,
doing different things.
The laundry hamster did run,
to get a spider ring.

They bobbed for apples and played games,
They danced across the floor.
They got to see spooky things
and wanted to see more.

They got to carve a pumpkin,
with a scary face.
In a sack race they were jumping
all about the place.

The night passed by all too soon,
and then it was time to leave.
All are smiling under the moon,
eating their treats on Hallows Eve.

 
Dust Bunny Hide and Seek


The dust bunnies came peeking,
out from under the bed.
They all had woke from sleeping,
and were ready for a new day ahead.

They woke and sang a happy song,
as they danced around my feet.
They convinced the bluebirds to sing along,
as I gave them bunny treats.

They all got in a bunny line,
as they all marched along.
All marching in perfect time,
to a bunny marching song.

They played a game of hide and seek
and scampered through the place.
Behind the curtains I would see them peek
with small smiles on their face.

One was seen looking through bristles of the broom,
and one was hiding under the chair.
One in the laundry room
chatting with the laundry hamster who lives there.

One was hiding in the cat food bag,
another behind the shelf.
One was seen under a rag,
singing songs to itself.

After the game of hide and seek,
and all of them had their turn.
With songs, dances and leaps,
to the kitchen they returned.

They sat around the table
each telling bunny rhymes
Trying to see it they were able
to see if it was possible to have a better time.

 
Dust Bunny Hide and Seek (part 2)


The dust bunnies were playing hide and seek,
around the table legs I see them peek.
Hiding in the dresser's top drawer,
running and scampering across the floor.

One was hiding and giggling in my shoe,
and in the dresser hid more than a few.
In the cupboard and under my hat,
one hid behind my gray tabby cat.

Behind the bathroom mirror and under an easy chair,
and in the closet, you can see them hiding there.
Behind the curtain, and in pockets of jeans,
they were all sorts of hiding places it seems.

One was hiding in the lamp,
and another with the envelopes covered in stamps.
One was even with the stuffed toys I keep there,
asleep in the lap of an old teddy bear.

The bunny who was "it" did not peek,
it did not know where they sneaked.
It counted to ten and began the game,
and somehow found each dust bunny again.

So should you see a dust bunny or two,
hiding behind the drapes or in a pair of shoes.
Perhaps behind a table you may see one peek,
know that it’s a game of dust bunny hide and seek

 
Dust Bunny Independence Day


I took the dust bunnies out tonight
to see the fireworks light up the night.
They watched the sights and all were amazed
of the things they saw on Independence Day

All stood at attention as the Anthem was played
as upon the flagpole Old Glory was raised.
One asked me why it thought it saw a tear
upon some people’s faces at this time of year

I told them the story of when the country was new,
of the flag that was waving , the Red ,White and Blue.
Of the country that was once colonies
and of the battles for the right to be free.

I told them the stories of Washington, Lincoln, and Revere
and through many battles that flag is still here;
the flag that flies over the land of the brave and the free.
A flag that flies high from sea to sea.

I told them a sad story of September Eleven
where over two thousand souls have entered heaven.
But even after the fall of the towers two,
our country united under the Red White and Blue.

They learned that all races of this great melting pot,
kept this country free through battles they fought.
I told them the truth of the tear that was cried
was one of sorrow but also one of pride.

It was getting dark and they set in a row
ready to watch the firework show.
Their eyes were widened in amazement and delight
as they saw the multi-colored lights.

They hopped up and down as the fireworks did boom
and looked up in wonder at the colorful blooms
They danced in excitement of the thrill of the show
but all too soon it was time to go

The audience stood and sang a single song
"God Bless America", the verses were sung, sad and long.
each of the audience were holding their neighbor's hands
and in a single voice came the cry "One Nation Under God , United We Stand!”

 
Dust Bunny Knight


Long ago and far away, in the Castle of Light.
It is there do I begin the tale of the brave dust bunny knight.
He wore armor made of tinfoil and his sword was made of wood.
He was the model of chivalry and his manners were always good.

He rode upon a gray tomcat and with his sword and lance,
trolls and ogres stepped aside, for evil had no chance.
He would bravely go where monsters lived, deep within the gloom,
bop them on the nose with his wooden sword, and send them to their room.

His gallant steed was a four clawed fighter, but wise beyond his years.
His speed was unmatched and his battle meow was feared.
The mighty steed had a name, Belvidere was he called,
as he walked in dignity and in grace around the castle halls.

All of the bravest knights were summoned before the king,
to find the youngest princess, kidnapped she had been.
It seemed a fearsome dragon flew into the castle doors.
It reached and grabbed the princess and left with a fearsome roar.

The bunny knight left right away and saddled Belvidere,
It left to find the princess, and the evil dragon most feared.
He rode through the castle gates, and many people cheered,
"There goes the brave Dust Bunny Knight and his mount Belvidere."

They traveled the kingdom looking for clues as to where the dragon went.
At night they made up camp and ate chocolate and peppermint.
One day they spotted a pixie, high up in a tree,
who told our brave adventurers where the dragon would be.

They thanked the pixie warmly, and gave it chocolate snacks.
Off they went to the dragon’s lair, and spotted dragon tracks.
Inside they saw the dragon with scales of yellow and green,
making the princess hula hoops out of its blue smoke rings.

Our heroes silently crept up on the dragon in the caves dim light.
Then Belvidere shouted, "MEOOOW" and gave the dragon a fright.
The dragon jumped, scared to death, and it smoke rings all turned square,
for he knew he faced the dust bunny knight and his mount Belvidere.

The dragon pleaded with the bunny knight, “Oh don't send me to my room,
I have just found a new friend and was lonely in this gloom."
"If you take the princess home, let me come along with you,
to play with my new friend, and the other children too."

They waited for the dragon to pack its dragon things,
and off they rode on a cart made of blue smoke rings.
On a cart pulled by dragon they made such a sight,
when they came back to the castle all danced with delight.

Now in the castle lives the dragon, as happy as you've seen,
and all the children visit him, and jump through his smoke rings.
When the children go to bed, you may softly hear,
the dragon chatting with his friends, the dust bunny knight and Belvidere.

 
Dust Bunny Life


Dust bunnies dancing,
in the morning light.
Telling stories and singing songs,
with eyes so shiny and bright.

Playing their games,
without a care in the world.
With lives full of happiness,
their hearts full of good.

With bags of peanuts,
they feed the squirrels.
The joy of their wonder,
more precious than diamonds or pearls.

They view life's beauty,
in a different way.
Inventing new songs,
and new games to play.

They look at the stars,
and try to count them all.
They play in the red leaves,
when summer turns to fall.

In winters cold snows,
snowmen they make.
They then relax with
hot coco and cake.

A dust bunny’s life
is full of such things.
Waiting for tomorrow,
and the new things it brings.

 
Dust Bunny Song


A dust bunny was singing just the other day,
a simple little bunny song, as it went to play.
So soft and sweet like a lullaby,
and the sound of a bunny song to the heavens it did fly.

The song was sweet and low, like a bunny hymn,
and before too long I heard the voice of another bunny join in.
A fine duet they made, singing a bunny song,
and I could have listened all day to the notes so sweet and long.

Singing a dust bunny song, one sang high and one sang low,
somewhere as they sang along, the duet became a trio.
Now three bunny voices all sang along.
Singing in perfect harmony this little bunny song.

I heard the voices of more bunnies soon join along,
one or two clapped their paws in time to this bunny song.
One found a toy guitar that it played as it was singing,
and another added to the music with a small bell that was ringing.

They danced and played, singing the bunny song.
All through the morning and through the day until night came along.
They sang throughout the evening until it was time for bed,
one by one they quieted as dust bunny dreams filled their little heads.

It was all so strange not to hear a peep,
but all the bunnies wore a soft smile as they were fast asleep.
I thought for a moment of the music of one dust bunny's song,
on how they danced and how they played and how they sang along.

I learned on that day just what a song can mean,
that sometimes the smallest act can bring about the greatest things.
I wondered if that song was the secret to one of life's great meanings,
as I softly sang the words to the song that they were singing.

 
Dust Bunny Vacation


I took the dust bunnies on vacation the other day
to show them the sights and places I used to play
They had fun seeing all the sights there
Laughing and playing without a care

They saw the airport, eyes wide with delight
watching the big airplanes take off into flight
Everyone had a small suitcase
filled with candies and gum to taste

They saw the conveyor and all took rides
while the X-ray machine peeked in on their insides
In lines of two they hopped down the plane's aisles
Laughing and giggling, their faces in smiles

They smiled and laughed when we took to the air
Higher than the clouds was a thrill beyond compare
They got to see the pilot busy doing pilot things
and each got a small pair of plastic airline wings

When we landed smiles brightened each face
when each realized we were in a new place
We all went down to look and see
and there was my sister looking for me

She greeted us all with hugs all around
while we waited for our bags to soon come down
with bags in hand we all went away
to see Mom and Dad and the place I did play

The vacation was fun with Mom, Dad and Sis
when I got there I could tell that I was missed
Although we were weary from traveling the miles
we stayed up late sharing laughter and smiles

Before I knew it the whole week was gone
and much too soon it was time for us to go home
With hugs for all and kisses goodbye
back on the plane and again we did fly

The dust bunnies now know where I once did play
once upon a time, in a land far away
There they saw my Mom, Dad and Sis
There they saw the family I miss

And in the place so far away
I think of my family every day
I know they are right here, in my heart
miles away, but never apart

 
The Dust Bunny Picnic


I went with the dust bunnies the other day
to have a picnic and to watch them play
I watched them jump, pounce, scamper and run
as they enjoyed the warmth of the sun

Around the bushes I would see them peek
playing dust bunny hide and go seek
Exploring new places and dancing with delight
amazed at the view of a butterfly in flight

Smelling the flowers and with squirrels they do chat
Looking real nice with acorn-top hats
Catching centipedes and counting their legs
and exploring bird nests to get a peek at some eggs

Making innocent wishes on dandelion fluff
wanting only more friends with each little puff
Looking for secret things under the leaves
and watching the bluebirds in tops of the trees

Then they sat down on the blanket to eat
and each was so happy eating their treat
A bit of sweet chocolate and an ice cream cone
their bellies were full. It was time to go home.

They crept in the basket to all take a nap
I smiled to myself as I slowly headed back
for as always the dust bunnies make me smile
There is beauty around us, Enjoy it for a while.

 
A Small Dust Bunny


A small dust bunny was hopping along,
playing and singing a dust bunny song.
Looking for treasures all through the house,
a small spinning top and a toy rubber mouse.

It peeked out of windows, and hid under chairs,
playing bunny games without out a care.
In a paper airplane it caught a ride,
across the living room it did glide.

Smiling a small smile on its face,
it invited the others in a game of chase.
Then they played bunny hide and seek,
from chairs and curtains you could see them peek.

They all came together in their small seats,
for chocolate and peppermint dust bunny treats.
Playing and singing their bunny songs,
making up the words as they go along.

From morning to night they are happy in play,
enjoying their lives in every way.
But when the day is over and it is time to turn out the lights,
a small little dust bunny in paper airplane, makes one more flight.

 
Return of the Dust Bunny Knight


Past the Emerald Forest,
in the Tower of Light.
It is there I tell another story,
of the brave Dust Bunny Knight.

His name was feared by the monsters,
that lived within the gloom.
He would hit them with his wooden sword,
and send them to their room.

A four clawed fighter was his mount,
his battle meow was feared.
No braver mount had existed,
than the one called Belvidere.

The Bunny Knight was chatting with the dragon,
when the summons came.
The smallest princess was in dire need
of rescuing once again.

The princess had been picking flowers
near the place she plays.
A evil witch was waiting nearby,
and took the princess away.

The witch took her on a broom,
to a place very far away.
The princess was there kept,
to neither run nor play.

With haste our hero went to rescue,
the smallest princess dear.
Onward went the Bunny Knight,
and his brave steed Belvidere.

Through the forgotten paths they went,
deep within the woods.
Where the monsters lurk and creep,
and are not being very good.

Three times our hero faced,
monsters from the gloom.
Only to bop them on the nose,
and send them to their room.

Deep in the swamp our heroes went,
Leaping from log to log,
Avoiding quicksand and alligators,
that live within the bog.

They found the house the witch was in,
hidden behind the trees.
There our heroes devised a plan,
to set the princess free.

To the chimney Belvedere climbed,
and let loose a ferocious yowl,
Then the witch ran away,
afraid there was a ghost on the prowl.

Our brave heroes then rescued the princess,
and took her back to the king.
As for the evil witch,
she was never seen again.

 
Ten Little Dust Bunnies


One little dust bunny was sick with the flu,
it had a visitor and then there were two.
Two little dust bunnies sitting in a tree,
another popped out of a nest, then there were three.
Three little dust bunnies on a beach shore,
another came from swimming, and then there were four.
Four little dust bunnies watching the high dive,
found one under the bleachers, and then there were five.
Five little dust bunnies building a house of sticks,
found another in a tree, and then there were six.
Six little dust bunnies counting stars in the heavens,
one came down on a meteor, and then there were seven.
Seven little dust bunnies washing all the plates,
one came from the cabinet, then there were eight
Eight little dust bunnies climbing potato vines,
one peeked from behind an ear of corn, then there were nine
Nine little dust bunnies looking for more friends,
found another playing, and now there are ten.
All the little dust bunnies are happy as can be,
because all are pleased with dust bunny company.
Ten little dust bunnies are getting all along,
laughing and playing and singing bunny songs

Origin of the Dust Bunnies


It was a Monday morning,
much like all the rest.
The weather bleak and dreary,
as I lay there all depressed.

I was tired of all of life’s problems,
that had plagued me every day.
So I crawled under my bed,
and told the world to go away.

There in the darkness,
underneath my bed.
I saw a small dust bunny,
asleep near my head.

It opened up one little eye,
and smiled its bunny smile.
and made me feel happier,
than I have been in a while.

It called over its bunny friends,
and began to dance around.
I felt only wonder,
in the new friends I had found.

They taught me songs and bunny games,
as they played as dust bunnies do.
From under the bed they drew me out,
to see what they would do.

One sang songs and another danced,
around my dresser drawer.
They played games of hide and seek,
and scampered across the floor.

They taught me how to make bunny treats,
and more bunny songs.
As I watched them at their play,
I couldn't help but sing along.

I read them poems from an old note book,
in which I used to write.
They listened with great intent,
and squealed with such delight.

We danced, sang, and played bunny games,
all throughout the day.
I didn't notice until much later,
that my blues had fled away.

The dust bunnies went to bed,
to dream their bunny dreams.
I sit here happily now,
wondering what other joys they bring.
