April 24: Poem 24

Baby Bunny Butternut
    wore black and spikes, oh gosh.
One time she fell into a pit
    and therein she did mosh.

She spraypainted the milkweed
    Some say she tried it, too.
But when you are a bad bunny
    That's sometimes what you do.

Folks gave a lot of reasons why
    she really didn't care:
Her mom, she was a wild rabbit
    her dad, he wasn't there.


They all thought she'd never
    grow up to do some good
she would always be the one
    from the bad side of the wood.

So all were quite surprised indeed
    at this recent event -
Instead of causing anarchy
    she's now our president!

I guess when youth get wild like that
    you have a choice to make
you can choose to freak and rage
    Or just give them time to take.

Notes

Strange things happen in my head when I am mowing the lawn. STRANGE THINGS. By the way, the milkweed is an intentional allusion to Dylan Thomas, a poet who was also the mosh pit kind. He never became president of anything.
