Killer Rabbits

The Great Protector at Work

Hello to all,

In my misguided youth, a movie called Monty Python and the Holy Grail entered theatres worldwide. It was a farce of a comedy featuring everything from slapstick to irony. In a more famous scene, the heroes had to pass through a cave, but it was guarded by a most gruesome monster that kills every person who dares cross its path.

The men of King Arthur’s court peered down to the entrance and asked, “Where is the monster?”

The guide replied, “There,” pointing at a little white rabbit.

“Where?”  Arthur protested in one voice. “All I see is a bunny!”

The guide sneered, “That is the monster. The killer rabbit has teeth,” as he held his fingers up to his mouth like fangs sticking out. The heroes use a holy hand grenade to vanquish the killer rabbit.

This morning, two local hasenpfeffers filled their bellies on our front lawn. Our ever-vigilant guard dog, the great protector of the home, spied the woodland creatures chowing down on the clover blooming in my grass. Her low, menacing bark declared a monster viler than the killer rabbits of the famous movie. She ran upstairs with urgency oozing from her growl, alarming Mom to the danger just outside our front window.

Where Mom saw the two bunnies leisurely enjoying breakfast, only Ginger could see the real life-threatening peril besetting our house. These killer rabbits had already planned the demise of our household. Their guise of harmless rodents dining on grass could not fool the expert guard dog.

In years gone by, Ginger protected us from a killer robin with beady eyes and a razor-sharp beak. Today, she granted us life from the two killer rabbits with piercing fangs and claws of death.
