Little Brother

A friend found a tiny baby rabbit,
abandoned -- hand small,
and tried to save it,
held against her chest and fed
with a milk dipped cloth --
but it was not to be ...

Her grief is disproportionate, perhaps,
but I wrote her this song --

Little Brother

Hoo - lee Hoo - le - ee
My bunnie gone no hunting.
Little brother nestle dear,
Heart to heart now pining.

Hoo - lee Hoo - le - ee
My spirit wanders with thee.
Hush -- hush furry brother;
Serpent-Sphere protects you.

Hoo - lee Hoo - le - ee
We are one and one again.
Fire bright, sing the night
Tears and years remember.

Hoo - lee Hoo - le - ee
Hoo -- hoo -- le - leee

Not disproportionate at all - I still miss my dear friends Frodo and Guinness.
I loved your story too, Lois - so right about the damage. Frodo used to neatly snip wires in half - always managed to stop the stereo dead in his tracks but never himself.
