The Bunny Plague

The Bunny Plague

The world had become
a dreary place:
no light, no smile, no song.
Jaded by images, words and deeds,
people no longer got along.

Then one day
some fellows founds
a coffin made of lead.
Deciding to crack it open
to see who was dead.

To their surprise and
before they could
close it back up tight,
out came rainbow-colored
bunnies hopping to the night.

The bunnies carried in
happiness, love, and hope--
diseases most alarming.
People screamed and tore their hair,
each other they were harming.

Society had become
such a place that
no none understood
how to handle happy things
nor to comprehend good.

The rainbow bunnies
no matter how
harmless that they seem,
destroyed the world as
across it they did teem.

Hoards of folks
died from fright,
others locked away.
In the light they couldn't cope,
they knew no other way.

Nowadays bunnies bright
with rainbow hues
are seen every day,
all because man couldn't
keep curiousity at bay.
