BILLY BUNNY AND THE RABBITVILLE "GAZETTE."


There was once a little rabbit
Who was very fond of pie,
Apple pie, with sugar on the crust.
And he had a little habit,
When his mother wasn't nigh,
Of eating apple pie until he bust.

This is what Mr. William Bunny, the little rabbit's father, you know,
was singing one day, and the reason was because Mrs. Bunny had found
little Billy Bunny in the pantry.

And what happened to the little rabbit I'm not going to tell you, for
it is so sad that it would make you weep to hear it.

"All day he nibbled pie
Till at last I thought he'd die,"
Said the doctor with a sigh.

And then Mr. William Bunny looked at his small son and sighed, too,
for he had just paid the doctor's bill.

"Please don't sing any more," said little Billy Bunny. "Don't you
remember the doctor said I was to be kept quiet?"

So Mr. William Bunny went out on the porch to smoke a cigar and read
the Rabbitville "Gazette" until after supper time.
