The Hare In Winter: A Poem

Jack O' Hare blended white
against the backdrop
of frosty night.

He was hopping through the snow
in this temp of zero degrees below
but he was a happy bunny
his mood was sunny
for despite the darkness and the cold
a feeling of cheer did unfold.

For bright lights were everywhere across the land
here and there carolers and a band
the trees were draped in snow and white
and everywhere a Christmas light.

What this spectacle meant Jack did not know
but he was one to go with the flow.
He hopped to Jingle Bells
and danced on wishing wells.
He hopped here
he hopped there
and wished good evening to a mare
as it pulled a one-horse open sleigh
full of cheery people on their way

to a merry party of good cheer
with rum and eggnog and lots of beer.
Jack watched along with a deer
and when the party was done
Jack thought "What fun"
and went for a run
and skipped and danced with the doe and fawn
and greeted morning with a yawn.

But this time only comes once a year
so why not sing and dance
and be of good cheer?
