Building Appetite For Rabbit

So tender
So juicy
So tasty
So cute was the rabbit when it was alive
Hopping around, munching on grass and all
But it’s been dead, frozen in a tightly wrapped pack for a while now
But it will be unfrozen soon, seasoned, cooked
Yum, yum, my belly, my family’s bellies will then be filled with it among other tasty foods on Easter
Why rabbit?
Why not?
No such thing as discriminating against meat
And if you’ve never had rabbit
Gotta tell you it’s more tasty and tender than chicken
Just not in as great of surplus
But tomorrow on a table that will be full of greens and string beans
Tato salad and sweet potatoes
Ham, turkey and lamb
Home made rolls
And make you want to melt ice tea
There will be rabbit, ready to have fork and knife stuck into it
Then gone, gone baby down the throat and into the tummy
Satisfaction of which is guaranteed.
