An old pond sans its little green jumper,
Made do with a rabbit called Thumper**.
Walt Disney sued,
And the poor pond was booed,
when the hare made no sound and went under.

**Thumper is the much-loved character in the much-loved
animated film Bambi which was produced by the
not-so-much-loved Walt Disney company. Bambi is the
name of the much-loved white-tailed deer fawn who is the
much-loved main character. The film is so much-loved
that the main character appears in numerous much-loved
short films. The most famous of these is Bambi Meets Godzilla.
