Nibblefest Nursery Rhymes- Bunny Foo Foo

My nibblefest piece this month I painted Bunny Foo Foo.. the later years.. or the goon years.   I have never heard this nursery rhyme before.    Here's the nursery rhyme.. In my painting the mice are getting revenge.


"Little Bunny Foo Foo
Hopping through the forest
Scoopin' up the field mice
Bop 'em on the head!
Then the Good Fairy came and said:
'Little Bunny Foo Foo
I don't want see you
Scoopin' up the field mice
Bop 'em on the head!
I'll give you 3 chances,
And if you don't behave, I will turn you into a goon!"
Some versions were similar, but different:
"Little Rabbit Foo Foo
Running through the forest
Scooping up the field mice
And bopping them on the head!
Down came the Good Fairy, and she said:
"Little Rabbit Foo Foo
I don't wanna see you
Scooping up the field mice
And bopping them on the head!
I will give you three chances,
And if you don't behave, I will turn you into a Goon!"
One other version goes
"Little Bunny Foo Foo
hopping through the forest
Scooping up the field mice
And bopping them on the head!
Down came the Good Fairy, and she said:
"Little Bunny Foo Foo
I don't wanna see you
Scooping up the field mice
And bopping them on the head!
I will give you three chances,
Then POOF you're a Goon.
The result: 'Hare today, Goon tomorrow'
