Carrot Saturday
In the wild and dangerous Wealden Woods
Beneath dark and toddler deep growth coniferous
One of Maidstone’s finest kapok stuffed beasts
Roamed free and feral, my friend Mr Buniferus
In 1953, brought before the ‘omnipotent Edna’
With a beret, placed jauntily upon his soft, warm, velveteen head.
He was brutally taken, too soon from me
And coldly informed by her, “the bunny’s bloody brown-bread’”!
Poor Mr Buniferus, decades lost and unloved
Cast aside, disposed of, my old friend, who on reflection,
Was just sleeping, awaiting a mounted triumphal entry
Into Lowestoft, and a Toot enabled ‘Rabbit-Resurrection’.
