Bunny

I was sitting on the ledge eating a sammich when the little rabbit came up to me. He was wearing a thimble on his head as a helmet. He had on what looked to be a suit of chain mail made of Cheerios. He was carrying on one hand a shield that was actually an oreo cookie, doublestuff. In the other he was wielding a stalk of asparagus.

"Hoi," he said to me.

"Hello there, lil' bunny guy. What do you say?" I replied.

"Ahm, have you seen a small bear wearing an egg shell on his head? He'd also be carrying a cracker and a stick of celery. We're playing Knights of the Rectangular Table."

"I think you mean Round Table, lil' knight."

"I know but all we had was a very large people-sized thesaurus for a table."

"Oh. Well, no, I haven't seen your friend but I'll let him know you're looking. What gives with the asparagus?"

"Oh that. We're not allowed to play with pointy things. So we use stuff from the cupboard. It's silly, right? Who ever heard of sword fights with asparagus? Silliest thing I ever saw."

I was about to say something on the nature of things you don't often see but the little rabbit was already on his way down the trail sheathing his asparagus at his side and strapping the cookie to his back.
