It feels odd for me to walk around the inner city of Chicago and see … a rabbit.
He stood quite still as I took a picture of him and only hopped away as I got a little closer. What are rabbits doing in Chicago, I wonder? If they are pets then this one must have gotten loose. Perhaps someone had a pet, it had too many babies and they just let it go? With busy streets nearby, a hospital, a church, filled parking lots but no parks, it feels odd.
Quite odd. And, it reminds me of a camp song I used to sing …
I Love A Rabbit
I love a rabbit
A crazy, crazy rabbit
Hop, hop, bunny, bunny, hop, hop bunny, bunny
Hop, hop, ho, ho, hop, hop.
He loves carrots
He’s crazy over carrots
Chew, chew, bunny, bunny, chew, chew, bunny, bunny
Chew, chew, ho, ho, chew, chew
When we go to sleep at night
I kiss he and he kiss I
But if he’s been a such and such
He has to sleep in the rabbit hutch
Oh — I love a rabbit
A crazy, crazy rabbit
Hop, hop, bunny, bunny, hop, hop bunny, bunny
Hop, hop, ho, ho, hop, hop
Yeah, ok, maybe I’m the one going crazy! Â (laughing)Â
