Rabbits

I'm going to talk to you about rabbits.
If there is such a thing as reincarnation, I'd like to come back as a rabbit... they live such full lives; making love, writing novels, poetry, that sort of thing.
Oh yes, the world of the rabbit is a very fascinating and very beguiling place to be.
Who hasn't given succour to a small child who's pet rabbit perhaps has been savaged by next doors dog or a wayward fox.
They are more than just the trim on a parka hood, favoured by the mods and children from low income families.
Rabbits...
They can be very rewarding creatures but one thing you must never do with rabbits and that is brush their fur up the wrong way, they hate being brushed up the wrong way...
Haven't they got lovely teeth?
