A Mad March Night
One night while i was driving,
and heading back to town.
Something jumped from nowhere,
Good Lord i knocked it down.
I got out of my car
my nerves were in a scare,
then to my surprise
there lay a great big Hare!
His breathing it was shallow
so i put him in my car,
at least he was alive
my home was not to far.
at last i reached my house
i carried him inside.
I laid down Mr Hare
his eyes they opened wide..
at first he seemed upset
but then he settled down,
heartbeat back to normal
at last i lost my frown.
But i had plans that night
a night out with some girls
and here i was quite trapped,
left dreaming of my thrills!
My lodger was quite dirty
covered in brown mud,
bit"s of grass adorned him
he was heading for my tub!
Never mind a Vet
for he was fit and well
after bumping into him
i knew that he"d be swell.
Just then the phone did ring
"Oh when you coming down?"
"I can"t". I just replied,
all be it with a frown.
My girlfriends were not happy
i knew them oh so well,
so i told a big white lie
the one that we all tell.
"For i am running oh so late,
the next time oh i swear,
for i have such a bit to do,
i"ve still to wash my Hare!"
