Jack O'Hare: Changing Colours With The Seasons

This is a poem I wrote last spring about the wild hare jack rabbit who lives in my back yard whom I call Jack O'Hare.

At the time of the writing of this poem, Jack O' Hare was starting to turn brown in colour.

Now that it's winter and I'm posting this poem here for the first time at Xanga, Jack O'Hare is of course totally white in colour.

Brown in the spring, summer, autumn months.

Snow white in the winter months.

Anyhow here is a poem I wrote about Jack O' Hare which I originally called The Bunny Machine (although Jack is no machine- he's a living creature and not the impossible roulette wheel result of a never ending series of spontaneous accidents and incidents that occurred over long eons as some would argue):

Jack O' Hare: Changing Colours With The Seasons

They called him the Bunny Machine
this creature snow white clean
in winter that is
say what gives?
In summer he's brown
this hare about town.

How does Richard Dawkins explain it?
Suggests intelligent design d'aint it?
But Darwinists must resort to illogic and Hume*
laying their brains down at Reason's tomb.
From inanimate life comes life
and then with little more strife
comes fins then legs
and then birds' eggs
from amoeba to frog
and someday a prince
from gorilla to a man
using dental rinse.
In childhood we called these fairy tales
but for macro-evolutionists
it's evidence that tips the scales.

But Jack O'Hare hops and hops
his big bunny ears flops and flops
his colours protect in winter and summer
the fox sighs, what a bummer
and Richard Dawkins
looks dumber and dumber.

*Hume- a reference to David Hume a totally idiotic philosopher of the 18th Century
and therefore a big hero of Richard Dawkins.
