After I tell you this, I want to know what you think.
Believe me, I haven't had anything to drink.
Here was the strangest thing I would ever see:
A large leporine creature sped past me.
"I'm late, I'm late" is what I heard him wail
as he went quickly hopping down a trail.
He was wearing a vest with a pocket watch chain.
So tell me: Do you think I'm insane?
The big Rabbit
On my way home at twilight and with
a bag of abstract pearls I was stopped
by a giant leporine, it was silky blue but
had fangs like a walrus.
Was it a Cenzon Totochtin or could it be
a Minorcan Lagomorph, a Roly Poly.
Rabbits used to be big in pre-historic time
this one bit the fender of my car
before jumping into the bushes.
Alas, I had no camera, when I told my wife
she didn`t believe me.
