It's interesting that your student chooses to make bunnies thin, since usually bunnies look kind of plump. The choice reminds me of these lines from the folksong "Mr. Rabbit":
Mr. Rabbit Mr. Rabbit, Your ears are mighty thin "Yes dear Lord, they're for splitting the wind Every little soul's gonna shine, shine Every little soul's gonna shine along.
(The rest of the song describes other attributes of Mr. Rabbit.)
... But of course, rabbits' ears *are* thin, whereas your poor poet, if the rabbit s/he's caught in a pot is thin, it won't make much of a meal.
