The Rabbit

he was a rabbit soft bellied and quick he claimed and self knowledge being a sober forte he was correct

charisma and eccentric charm gave him more friends than he could manage a brilliant mind, but with a rabbit's resolve he could not harness it to accomplish what he wanted

people buzzed around him young pretty women wanted him as a friend but not lover since rabbits are needed only for petting

he spoke in quick clips and moved determinedly though his energy was sapped splintered it seemed in multitudes of interests

try as he could he failed to face the hard world where rabbits, unprotected are eaten and skinned

this he could not consider so he stayed hidden unwilling, naturally, to risk becoming dinner
