Elmer J Fudd -- Hunter, Poet, Wenaissance Man

Wabbits Wound Here

“My name is Elmer Fudd,
ssshhhhh….be vewy vewy quiet,
I’m hunting wabbits!
Have you seen a wabbit wun by here?
Yes? Next time you should gwab it!
I know he’s wound here someplace.
I’m gonna catch that wascally wabbit,
and end this scwewy chase.”

  1. Clever clever and you have me chuckling! Also….brings back a memory of 46+ years ago….before our daughter was born (our first of two children), we decorated a room in our farmhouse as a nursery. We only had enough money for one wall of wallpaper and the pattern we chose was called Wabbits! It was in shades mainly of yellow and orange and obviously some white…it had sketches, almost cartoon-like, of chubby wabbits with their bellies showing….it was adorable. In those days, you had no idea if you were having a boy or a girl so you decorated accordingly. As I recall, the walls were a bright yellow and we did the woodwork in bright orange. Now that I think of it, it’s amazing she ever got to sleep in that room! 🙂 Thanks for the memories and the chuckle!

    1. I’m glad you received some enjoyment. I guess Elmer came up with a third definition of the word wound – perhaps it is a Fuddograph

  2. Such a clever use of the prompt word. Bugs and Elmer — or Bugs and just about anybody — is great fun. That wascally wabbit put a lot over on a lot of critters. Thanks for the laugh, Ron 🙂

  3. Good on that clever wabbit that got away. No wabbits wound me and if there were I wouldn’t tell.
    Thanks for sharing this clever quadrille
    Loved it.
