Why Not Sing Soft Fluffy Rabbit

I heard a song today so sad 
it made me cry

I know not why

And up until then I was having
1 of my better day's in many ways

But yet it stayed with me both today
and yesterday come what may

I know not 

Why the jumper on the bridge I just 
had to push

As inquisitive of mind as am I pondering
where on earth in fact they would land

And who would play me in the band
when morning wake's

This record really put the needle in
now all I hear is cracking afterthought
burrowing a hole into my mind

And this may not be the last tear I
shed over it but that only means
it left it's mark

I know not why 

Only that in some small way I could
relate and that i was touched enough
to make me want to jump 

Matter's not where I land even if it's
down a blackened rabbit hole

So long as I have my trusty lucky erstwhile
companion rabbits foot to keep me company 

I endearingly named Tripod as he only has
3 feet on which to Bunny-Hop along
around on

And did I mention Tripod is made of
1 part Milk , 1 part Dark Chocolate 

And comes to visit me for a week
every year religiously in April
coincidentally right around 
Easter time
