Description

There was a family of orphaned bunnies that lived in North Carolina,
And rains from Tropical Storm Ernesto flooded their burrow.
They had just gotten a new computer, and a DSL line. A
Torrent of rain caused - is this possible? - bunny brows to furrow.

Do bunnies have brows or even eyebrows or eyelashes? Never mind,
That's beside the point because the bunnies are just metaphors.
Anyway, when the CPU was submerged, and the screen went blind
The bunnies started to wail. Do bunnies do that? Well, for

The sake of the story, we will assume they do, and continue.
They had just gotten the DSL service and were quite innocent
Of what they had done wrong with line filters. From the menu
They selected invalid options, and furthermore they went

To the wrong site on the world-wide-web. Astonished,
When the electricity failed, they watched their information
Sink beneath Tropical Storm Ernesto's wrath, and vanish
Wherever the light goes, when it goes out. Salvation

Came when a kind Esther-bunny-fairy from Maryland
Miraculously appeared, waving her wand, casting doubts aside!
Waters vanished! The computer dried out! All the land
Rang with praise! But the bunnies were electrocuted, and they died.
