FROM THE CHILDREN'S BOOK: THE SOUNDS OF ORANGE

 

The Sound of Orange

 

One rabbit had some itchy teeth

Another, itchy gums

When they heard their favorite food

It teased their old ear drums

I’m sure you know the sound of orange

The volume of its noise

Each rabbit tried to turn it down

Between their paws with poise

 

Between their paws they pressed and held     

Those noisy carrot sticks

Just then they put their teeth to work

Taking bites and licks

Right there they sat and bit and gnawed

Such volume did they gain

When every single bite had gone 

How quiet orange became
