keeping the rabbits out

he spent so much of his time

on his

knees

digging in dirt,

raising tomatoes and beans,

stringing up

wire

to keep the rabbits out.

but the rabbits

would find a way in, they

always did.

and if you live long enough,

you'll realize, you can't

keep the rabbits out

of your garden, or your life,

for very long.
