[In the news, reported here: 65-year-old Rep. Timothy Johnson of Illinois has cited family obligations for his decision not to run for re-election; Johnson has a family of 22: 9 children, 11 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren. Meanwhile, today is Easter, a Christian holiday that has picked up associations with springtime celebrations of fecundity (featuring rabbits, eggs, and chicks).]

Bunny Hop

Hippity, hoppity,
Congressman Johnson is
Father and grandfather,
Great-grandsire too.
Loving his family, so
Philoprogenitive,
Duties are calling him —
Oh, twenty-two.
