The White Rabbit Explains His Perpetual Lateness

So why am I always late? Well, I’ll tell you straight
I bought this watch from Tesco (yes, I know it’s not the best co)
But I’ve been short recently, things to do, people to see
Food to get and bills to pay, a final demand from the C.S.A.

Honestly, I’m a rabbit, if I see a tail I’m going to have it
A hundred sons and daughters more, irate fathers at my door
Try providing for extended family, it can’t be done, you’ll soon see
Worries about the price of hay, carrots cost more every day

I get up before it’s light, find fresh grass, have a bite
Then busy snoozing through the day until the sun flies away
Out again as light fails, more eating and all it entails
Digging a burrow for another brood (a pretty chick whom I wooed)

My life an endless round of juggling, pleasing and struggling
Keeping every wife sweet, no wonder I’m always beat
And as for lateness, isn’t it a sign of greatness?
Anyway I’m wanted I have to go, someone’s calling down below

There really aren’t enough hours in the day...

Golden Fleece

GOLDEN FLEECE 
Guy + gal fall in love after mad whirlwind romance oh how their hearts beat in love together as one. Have fun, best friends + lovers + soulmates. Want to be together forever but do u know how long that is? Course it goes wrong. He screwed her sister she banged his brother. Guess it wasn’t true unconditional love. They had 2 kids, a marriage, a house, car and a dog. She left him, kicked him out. He lost it all, she gained an empire and she took him to the CSA, got a golden fleece. He turned gay.


General Bedford Forest

CSA General Bedford Forest
Mighty killing warrior
Would've won the war no jest
If his horses were survivors

Gen. Forest lost 30 horses during the civil war and killed more soldiers than any 
other general. It could  be said he was lucky or his horses were unfortunate.

Six Young Men

Lonely soldiers, far from home, fighting for a way of life that is the only way they 
have 
known. Maybe it is wrong but it is wrong to their thinking to have others push their 
ideals 
into a life that is not your own. The young soldiers will fight for their freedoms to the 
death...

Solid granite stone, bear above the ground, marking a spot along the wire road that 
will 
become a place called The Rock, Georgia. A little known battle raged there in the 
civil  war.
The soldiers decided their freedom had to be now, love beckoned the boys to their 
homes 
and sweethearts. Their lives ended at The Rock, execution style, fighting to go 
home. 
Abandoning their arms, to return to home and the ones who mattered most. War 
has their 
blood spread on The rock, and six simple unmarked graves along the road, 
forgotten...

Ideals lost, lives lost, love lost, forgotten graves of earth, in the shade of the oak 
tree.


This is about CSA graves at The Rock, Ga, that is all that is real, the rest is fiction.
