On The Trail Of A Cottontail
A little dog ran down the road
And chased a cottontail
He had his nose to the ground
And behind him closely trailed
The rabbit went to some briars
And thought that he was hidden
But the little dog found him there
And entered where forbidden
He flushed the rabbit from the thorns
Again close on his tail
But the rabbit sped fast away
With the dog there still compelled
Just passed the brook the rabbit hid
In a hollow tree
He felt invisible hiding there
But again he had to flee
From the tree went the rabbit
To a little lawn
It was a green and grassy place
Where the rabbit spent his dawns
The dog was no stranger to the home
And saw a cat he knew
The rabbit there streaked away
And ‘catch the cat’ ensued
