Now here’s a little secret
I’ve never told before
Deep inside Bertie’s burrow
There is a hidden door
Inside is Bertie’s workshop
Away from prying eyes
Where Bertie has spent hours
Making the bunnies a surprise
He started it at Easter
And not a day too soon
Because he only finished
When the earth eclipsed the moon
It started as a train set
And then just grew and grew
As he added trees and rivers
And lots of houses too
Bertie made each and every item
Carefully crafted in fine wood
And now on Christmas Eve
It’s looking rather good
So once the night has fallen
And the bunnies are asleep
Bertie dressed as Santa
To his workshop he will creep
And with the help of Bessie
Before a brand new dawn
The gift will be up and ready
In time for Christmas morn
