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!"
