Theodore the Rabbit

Once there was a rabbit
who thought he was a bear.
His name was Theodore.
One day he lost his inner peace.
The great thing about that was he didn't care.
He had an idea about right thinking.
It was the best way to think.
You just imagine that you have magic.
Then you can go anywhere.

Theodore decided to go to the forest
to find his inner peace and there it was.
He had to just kick it in the butt.
Then he got his inner peace back.
Then he yelled, "I'm happy again!"
Then he realized that going to the forest
wasn't necessary in the first place.
He had. . . . you know . . . .
inner peace within his heart.
