Alone tree and the ants

A lonely tree sits 
beside a small lovely lake. 
I heard of it from my rabbits
And went there with a cake. 

It may not be that interesting
For some of you. 
But it is peaceful for me, 
A new serene venue. 

There is something unusual, 
I could not find it out. 
Oh! There are no people
Here,walking and roaming about. 

An ant comes to collect 
A piece of cake, 
I let it eat a piece of it
Then it ran towards the lake. 

It's an amazing experience, 
The view here cannot be expressed, 
I took out my tiffin box, 
And found it completely messed. 

The ant who took a piece of cake
Has returned in the mean time
And lo! He is not alone
He has a team to commit crime. 

The ants are passing in a line, 
As though collecting water from tap. 
The cake is slowly vanishing, 
I took out my phone to take a snap.

How I met my rabbit

I saw a rabbit, the rabbit saw me!  I asked for its consent to cuddle it for free.  The rabbit said "no". I said do you know?  Who...
