Rabbit: This is weird. Where are all the human-type people?
Crow: They're holed up in their nests. Caw. I hate it. Caw. No pizza to steal in the park. Caw.
Girl with Pearl Earring: I'm so lonely. There's no one to admire me in the museum.
Rabbit: Huh. So it's just the three of us. Wanna play a little cut throat?
Crow: We were told not to play with you.
Girl: I think he's kinda cute. He just has some anger management issues. You don't need to be mean to him.
Crow: You kidding me? Caw. He's a time bomb ticking. Caw. Anyway those boules are too slippery for me to hold.
Girl: I could hold them for you and you just tell me what you want me to do.
Crow: You don't, caw, want me to tell you, caw, what I want you, caw, to do. Trust me. Caw.
Girl: It probably wouldn't work anyhow. My neck is stuck in this position. If I want to face you, I need to turn my whole body. Then I'm afraid I'd slip out of the picture and not be able to get back in.
Rabbit: Circles? What happened to all the circles?
Raven: Joe locked them up in the shed. caw.
Rabbit: But why?
Raven: So the other humans wouldn't touch them and thereby, caw, spread the fear germ.
Rabbit: Then why didn't he lock up the benches? People touch those.
Raven: Hey. When I was up in the trees one day, caw, I watched this Hans guy picking up colored stones. He said, caw, he made jewelry with them. I, caw, like shiny things so I started collecting them too. But, caw, now they're stuck in my craw. Caw.
Rabbit: So. If we can't play, you wanna come over to my place and rub my tummy?
Raven: Naw. Caw. I gotta nail stuck in my claw. Caw.
Rabbit: I was talking to the girl.
Girl: Oh. No thank you. I have to get back to my painting before they miss me.
Raven: Gotta fly. I just got this on my iFlown.
Subject: PUBLIC PARKS ARE CLOSED.
With the county ordering all public parks closed, we remind folks not to enter the courts at Depot Park until further notice.
Please, we do not want to jeopardize our lease with the city by anyone violating this order.
We hope you stay safe and healthy.

A bunny, a girl, and a bird
were trying not to step on a turd
The bun tried to hop
Face planted and plop
Looked up with a grin so absurd
