Bunnies In My Life....... ['Bunnies' In My Life; Not Long; Housecleaning; Humor? ] Poem by Bri Edwards

Bunnies In My Life....... ['Bunnies' In My Life; Not Long; Housecleaning; Humor? ]

Rating: 5.0


When I was little, Bunnies were so soft and cute;
at Easter, the “Bunny” might be a guy..... in a Bunny Suit.
When I was college-age, “Bunnies” were Playboy Girls.
The ones I saw had armor-like outfits to..... go with their curls.

Now the “Bunnies” I see have as their first names “Dust”,
and when they’re big enough I just feel I must.....
wipe them up off the floor where they’ve collected,
lying there growing if, my wife, the cleaning’s neglected.

They seem mostly made up of my long grey head hair.....
and shorter hairs bundled with dust from Who-Knows-Where.
As though trying to avoid detection, they seek out untrodden space,
but I grab them up and put them in the wastebasket,..... their proper place.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
it is all so true. yes i WAS a kid once. and yes i was invited twice (by groups of guys my age) to go for meals at Playboy Clubs (Boston and NYC) . and YES, we have Dust Bunnies in our house, epecially during the disruption of 'remodeling'; good grief!

I live in an old villa that is well over a 130 years old and dust bunnies appear sometimes straight after a thorough vacuuming. I suppose sharing our house with two dogs and a cat will make these little darlings appear more frequently.

It's a pity that the ignoramuses on Poemhunter haven't spotted this pretty good poem by Bri. They are all a bunch of flatterers, with their insincere and hypocritical comments. I like this about the Dust Bunnies. I hate them. Dust has a way of dodging the broom and the vacuum cleaner. It's 'inevitable'.
