Analysis of Once



A little white bunny
is hopping around
searching for carrots
to make a little cake

A little white bunny
finds what he need
goes into the kitchen
and starts to bake

A little white bunny
is eating from his cake
sees a little white bunny
and jumps on her tail

Two little white bunnies
are hopping around
searching for carrots
to make a little cake

Two little white bunnies
find what they need
go into the kitchen
and start to bake

Ten little white bunnies
are eating from the cake
seeing other little white bunnies
and jump on their tails

2023: In a world full of chaos, creativity is one of the helping things to keep yourself sane. ******************************** 2014: A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen than you have something very special. - Nelson Mandela - ******************************** I am from the land of tulips and mills. Writing is a need like eating and sleeping. I think we are all wondrous creatures who deserve to love ourselves and live in freedom.
