a nursery.

never before
had the rabbit at hand
experienced such confusing
articulate things.

the carrot's all claimed
the excuses were reasons
while the rabbit reiterated
that it prefered spinach.

the rabbit reminded the produce
that he was the younger of the two
which made him a likely candidate
for said produce's ridicule.

but the carrot was smiling
and said almost nothing
though it talked quite a bit
so the rabbit was listening
and didn't even notice
that the carrot got away
even if it was only with
saying a lot
and not saying a thing.
