The Country Drive Ill Never Forget

Of all the things that I have seen and all the places that I’ve been; the strangest of these things, by far I witnessed from the window of my car. It was on a lonely, country road, near where a winding river flowed; to this day, I swear, I cannot cope, I actually spotted a Jackalope! Though he was gray, great horns he had; like a three-point buck, this dude was bad! He wore a pine wreath upon his head, sitting there, just up ahead. I stopped the car and away he went; into the woods, he did descend. No time had I to shoot a pic; that Jackalope was way too quick!

Your poem makes me think of a children's book. So imaginative. Dr. Suess wrote about imaginary creatures with imaginative names. It would be fun to have an artist draw a Jackalope after reading this poem! It was a treat to read.

I think some have, I've even seen a video where someone had horns on a jackrabbit, calling it a jackalope. Thanks for stopping by.

Hello M.L. ... a once in a lifetime event. You could drive up and down another thousand times and never see your Jacka lope; or a drop bear; or a hoop snake; or even a bunyip M.L. - Lindsay
