The Dsl Bunnies Poem by Will Barber
The Dsl Bunnies
There was a family of orphaned bunnies that lived in North Carolina,
And rains from Tropical Storm Ernesto flooded their burrow.
They had just gotten a new computer, and a DSL line. A
Torrent of rain caused - is this possible? - bunny brows to furrow.
Do bunnies have brows or even eyebrows or eyelashes? Never mind,
That's beside the point because the bunnies are just metaphors.
Anyway, when the CPU was submerged, and the screen went blind
The bunnies started to wail. Do bunnies do that? Well, for
The sake of the story, we will assume they do, and continue.
They had just gotten the DSL service and were quite innocent
Of what they had done wrong with line filters. From the menu
They selected invalid options, and furthermore they went
To the wrong site on the world-wide-web. Astonished,
When the electricity failed, they watched their information
Sink beneath Tropical Storm Ernesto's wrath, and vanish
Wherever the light goes, when it goes out. Salvation
Came when a kind Esther-bunny-fairy from Maryland
Miraculously appeared, waving her wand, casting doubts aside!
Waters vanished! The computer dried out! All the land
Rang with praise! But the bunnies were electrocuted, and they died.

What an amazing story! You have a wonderfully inventive mind. Very original, Will. Warm regards, Sandra
And this still makes me laugh, too! What a fine Goofballasaurus you are, and thanks for allowing me the role of Savior of Land and Electronica, tho' not - alas - the bunnies themselves (awwwwwwwwww) ... But I betcha they were good eatin'! ! ! ; ] Esther
Interesting story described in the poem, The poor bunny....But It is the reality, I think.....
You're a magician Will. I've been sitting here with brow to the fore furrowing furiously rabbit fashion - well, testing the theory of bunnies in burrows brow furrowing! More mesmerising wit from that brilliant pen of yours! ! jim
You might use the fried bunny ears on your TV. In any case the reception of your delightful poem is clear and sharp. I think DSL must stand for 'definitely superior language.'
I love, love, loved this Will - that offer of a date still stand? ;) Hugs Anna xxx
