Overview
This is the tale of Pretty Bunny, And though her story is very funny, To read it you will not regret When you meet old Aunt Etiquette! Pretty Bunny Manners lived with Old Father and Mother Bun, in a little wee house in the woods. As soon as she woke one morning she called to her brother, Healthy Bunny, “Pretty Bunny gives fair warning, She will always call, ‘Good morning’.” Healthy Bunny often forgot to say “Good morning,” and be polite, so Pretty Bunny continued, “I will make up a ‘Good Morning Song’,” so she wrote on a card some words for Healthy Bunny to learn, and soon they sang to the tune of “Twinkle Little Star,” “Say ‘Good Morning’ when you wake, Be polite, make no mistake, And when friends you chance to meet, Say ‘Good Morning’ on the street.” They took so long learning the song that Old Father Bun cried, “Hurry your dressing, I don’t like to scold, But your coffee will all be cold.” Old Mother Bun said, “Hurry up, Bunnies, as like as not, Your oat-meal will get too hot.” The Bunnies laughed and, Hippety-hop with never a care, They came dancing down the stairs. They said ‘Good Morning’ to Old Father and Mother Bun and began to eat breakfast. At this very minute the Postman came “pitter, patter, rap-a-tap,” and left some letters in the mail-box; among them was a certain pink envelope addressed to Old Father Bun. Pretty Bunny went to get the letters and came dancing in, handing them to Old Father Bun. As luck would have it, Old Father Bun took up the pink envelope first and looked at it closely through his horn-rimmed spectacles.
