LAPIN'S BIG DREAM

THIS AFTERNOON

I SPIED THE DRUM SET AND HAD A MARVELOUS IDEA!

I'D BEAT OUT SOME RHYTHMIC TEMPOS

A-LA GENE KRUPA OR RINGO STARR.

(MAYBE EVEN KEVIN B.)

THEN I'D STRUM MY SIX STRING

WHILE SITTING ON MY PORCH SWING

AND

DREAM OF BEING A STAR!

AND THE WINNER IS . . .

PLASTIC BEVERAGE CONTAINER ($1.25 ON CLEARANCE AT WALMART)

VS

GLASS BEVERAGE CONTAINER ($2.99 AT SAVERS)

AND THE WINNER BY A CLEAR CHOICE IS: GLASS!

PLASTIC DRINKING STRAW (FREE FROM WHAT-A-BURGER)

(THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!)

VS

GLASS DRINKING STRAW ($ FROM GLASS DHARMA)

AND THE WINNER BY A CLEAR CHOICE IS: GLASS!

THIS MORNING I DECIDED TO CLIMB A TREE.

I WENT W A Y UP HIGH AND TOUCHED THE SKY!

I SAW AN INDIAN'S ARROW SOAR OVERHEAD . . .
I SAW THE ELEPHANTS SHUFFLING THROUGH THE DENSE TREES. . .
I SAW A PANTHER STALKING ITS PREY!

I PLAYED FORT AND JUNGLE AND 'WHERE'S THE KITTY?'

I GOT DIRTY AND SKINNED UP MY KNEE,

BUT . . .

IT WAS GREAT FUN!

WHEN I CAME IN FOR COOKIES AND CARROT JUICE, MAMA CRIED OUT AND SAID, "LAPIN! WHAT A MESSY LITTLE BUNNY YOU ARE! GO TAKE A BATH!"

I WILL DO WHAT MAMA COMMANDS, BUT I WON'T JUST 'TAKE A BATH', I'LL TAKE A BUBBLE BATH! PLAYING WITH BUBBLES IS ALSO GREAT FUN!

CLOSE YOUR EYES AND DON'T PEEK!

WHAT GREAT FUN I HAD, SPLISHING AND SPLASHING IN MY WHIRLING-SWIRLING FROTHY POOL! (I CAN MAKE GREAT FUN OUT OF ANYTHING I DO!), BUT AFTERWARDS, I COULDN'T DO A THING WITH MY . . . HARE! ; ^)
