early this morning before hopping away fast.
The beet greens and carrot tops
were served with dew on top.
For dessert, clover blossoms
then their hop became a run
as my dog caught sight of one
thinking they came to have fun.
Off they went in between the shrubs
then through the fence where my dog was snubbed
for bunny made a quick get-away.
My dog turned to go another way.
I know they will be back
for another late night snack
for organic vegetables are their favorite food.
Better than what's served elsewhere in the neighborhood.
They had previously dined on the pole beans
and chowed down the sugar snap peas, chopped clean.
They haven't yet found the lettuce
as it's separated by a fence.
The swiss chard is covered with nylon netting
for in past years this was one of their favorite servings.
Whatever is on the menu is their favorite:
beans, peas , beets, swiss chard, lettuce, spinach, carrots.
So tonight I'll again attempt to foil
these late night ransackers who raid and spoil
by spraying deterrent spray once again
and covering with netting what's left to tend.
Those raiding bunnies have left another lesson:
vegetarians have the best menu to choose from.
Vegetables contain vitamins and minerals making them smart,
bold, limber, fast, so that they can hop away as fast as a dart.

According to Daniel in the Bible,
vegetables will make us strong and able.
When given the choice of royal food and wine,
Daniel asked for vegetables on which to dine.
Designed by God, vegetables promote good health.
You'll find when you're in good health, it's like new-found wealth.
Less doctoring, fewer bills,
due to health versus ills.
A study in which nutrients are contained in which vegetables,
or note the main vitamins and minerals printed on the label,
may eliminate doctoring for food is the ultimate medicine.
Toss in some herbs for variety and even more nutrition.
Even the vegetable's colors will identify
which necessary nutrients are signified.
So fill you plate full with a rainbow of colors.
Like Daniel and his friends, you'll feel healthier.
Daniel 1:8-17
