we followed an oddly marked path thru the woods
~ to the castle of the king of, uh, the, umm, hoods ~
(yeah, that's it-- "the hoods"! yeah!)
(("ahem..!"))



~ we reached the fence and started to climb ~



"hurry!" cried the worried hare
~ "we're running out of time!" ~



we got lost in the castle
~ thought for sure we were doomed ~



~ but finally, we found the poorly hidden room ~



inside, were all these shelves
~ with boxes, low and high! ~
3 stood out from the others
(tho' i couldn't have said just why..?)



and then, acting on the wildest, umm, pink hunch
~ we chose one from amongst the bunch ~



i asked about the small blue print
~ just as the rabbit opened it ~



~ "oops!" i think i did exclaim ~



as bunny-guy
~ went up in flames ~



i barely made it out and under the wire
~ before the castle caught up that fire~



so, i chalked it up to a lesson learned
(never give a lug wrench to a rabbit!)
~ lit up a smoke and watched it burn ~
