Run Rabbit, Run

I had not seen a wild rabbit since I was a child, but with my joyous gaze, I saw one a few days ago. No, seeing one did not bring me to tears, but it cast me some 50-plus years ago. I was born in a rural area and have returned after many years to retire near the area where I was born. Rabbits were a part of 'the hunt' when I was young, and one had to be a pretty good shooter to kill a rabbit because they knew how to duck and dive, sway left and right, and run very fast. Presently, I'm not a hunter and have no plans of being one, and I hope that The rabbits I see will continue to evade the shotgun blast of hunters. And to the rabbits, I say, "Run rabbit, run!" 051923PS
