Hippity Hop or Pouncy Jump

  • NB: First, its good to be back and able to post again! Thank you all for being so patient

     know a lot of you who know me personally have heard me tell this one before, but for those that don’t… Well its a little short story about how we sometimes get caught up arguing silly things.

    Hippity Hop or Pouncy Jump?

    “Hippity Hop” said the bunny to the fox

    Who tilted his head and said “no its pouncy jump!”

    The bunny gave a stare “Oh no” he said

    “Its hippity hop, and I know this best!”

    The fox rolled his eyes
    Confused as could be
    How could it be hippity hop…When he knew it as pouncy jump?!

    The fox then gave a growl… as right as could be
    The bunny gave an eek, but held his view clear
    Then at last the sun went down
    And the cold slowly crept

    It felt like this would never end…
    A stand-off between two that could be friends

    But finally… As the night said hello
    At last one said…
    although which… well no one knows,

    “Lets just agree to be different…
    And lets leave it at that”

    And with those simple words,
    Followed by each giving a nod
    peace had been returned.
    And they parted ways for now

    And as the faded into the distance…
    Each going a different way,
    The bunny left going hippity hop
    And the fox went going pouncy jump.

    And you know what…
    That’s okay.
