They like to snack on popcorn and chips,

with other dust bunnies
in a crumb-filled buffet!

Dust bunnies work hard to not be found,
to avoid ending up in the vacuum, sucked

up from the ground!

Sometimes they snooze,
all snuggled together.

Other times they’re in drawers
cuddled up with your sweaters!

But when they’re awake,
they play hide and go seek.
You won’t hear the dust bunnies,

not even a peep!

A dust bunny’s fur gets easily sopped.
