An Ode to Bunnies during KITTEN SEASON!!!

The following is dedicated to all of the bunnies in the world in honor of Easter:

An Ode to Bunnies

By Muriel Palanca

A field full of furry mounds, each swaying to the sound of my generation,
Beats caressing their velvet petal ears, listening to sparkling harmony.
Wafers gilded with satin liquid are flowing through my fingers.

Multiple heaving bosoms, soft and supple, bouncing with the motion of
Rolling grass, waves of tumbling cashmere orbs cushioning
Each other, rumbling, hungry for ice cream and confetti.

Little beaded eyes dancing with rays of sunshine,
Starlight whimsy skittledoo Hooray! Wubble balls,
Pounds of dandelions without stems, muffled squeaks
Like a tummy of blubber, my little tickle buns.

Twitchy pink noses like Morse code say, Love me because I am adorable!
Yes, you are adorable my Bunny Fantasticos. Sniffling,
So cute are you that I cannot possibly contain myself OHHHH!!!

Bubbles in a tub, floating on the surface making quiet explosions, popping,
fuzzy miracles of warmth and cotton candy.

Everything happy in the world, compressed into pocket sized
Bobbles, cuddling like a pack of fruit snacks.

Hopping and popping like a bazillion balloons with your
Skipping, padded paws, thumping on chocolate pudding.

You are soft puffy coconut baseballs making homeruns in my heart,
And you always win, because fluffer-nutter marshmallow peanut butter loot bags
Are like a never-ending party!

Cute things think alike =)

Quick Story:

I went to Petsmart the other day to get my “Kitten Fix” (I cannot have pets in college so I go to Petsmart to pet the kittens). I walked to the little windows where the kittens usually are, but the kittens were ALL GONE!

Every single window was empty.

So I went to one of the ladies working there and I asked where they all went. She said they were all moved to this super special secret room in the back…and she took me there! So I was excited because I felt like a V.I.P going into the back room where they keep all the “good stuff”.

We were making some small talk about kittens, animals and cute furry things when she said the following sentence:

“Well we don’t really have any kittens right now. I think the youngest one is 5 months old, but if you come back during kitten season-“

Me: “Wait…Hold on…There’s a KITTEN SEASON?!!”

Her: “Yes there is. We get a bunch of kittens around April and May for kitten season.”

The thought is just too cute for me to bear. At that moment, I imagined myself as Elmer Fudd rolling around in a ball pit full of kittens.

So FYI, there is a KITTEN SEASON and it is during April and May. This scrumptious morsel of information is for all of you who contribute to the billions of views of kitten videos on YouTube.
