Modified Tennyson imitation — nine lines with a rhyme pattern AABBCCCCC, and using four trochees per line, with a touch of surrealistic humor.
while this bunny thumps like crazy
help me fry it golden brownish
stuffing it in uncle’s sandwich
never liked that purple rabbit
acted poorly — now I’ve had it
sang off key each time I’d pet it
stole my shoes and uncle let it
now it’s lunch — and uncle ‘et‘ it
