Poem wagged her long fluffy white tail almost as fast as Theory’s bunny stump. Poem admired both Theory and Verse’s natural bobbed tails. She was just as bright, if not as energetic as her half sister. She wished her brother were half as friendly and sweet as his two sisters. She wondered if he teased them as hard as he teased her. The thought didn’t last long in her mind as Theory answered.
