Alice met a Rabbit
\nBut the Goddess met a Hare
\nit was standing by a stile
\nnot going anywhere
\ngazing out across the fields
\ndreaming of a Doe
\nlying somewhere in some burrow
\nkeeping her profile low
\nof course he hadn’t met her yet
\nbut envisaged she would be
\nan Angora or one of those Blue’s
\na pretty little she
\nhe always came up here to look
\nit was his favourite place
\nand suddenly he was aware
\nof somebody else’s face
\nIts the Goddess she just stumbled
\non the Hare that summers day
\nand both of their eyes met
\nand to each other they did say<\/p>\n
Hello Goddess I am Hare
\nlong legs and big ears
\nAre you the Dragon Goddess
\nbright eyes and diamond tears
\nYes Hare that is me alright
\nI live over yonder
\nIn the cottage near the Gade
\nand of it, I grow fonder
\nyou’r always welcome Mr Hare
\nif your, ever over
\nMy Cleaning Doe grows watercress
\nand collects the wildest clover<\/p>\n
I love the clover freshly picked
\nits juices are real sweet
\nit kind of makes me sort of feel
\nmuch lighter on my feet
\nrather than climb the gates or stiles
\nwhat I tend to do
\nIs fly over them,I take a run
\nI guess a bit like you<\/p>\n
Round here the woods
\nare bold and green
\nthe holly berries red
\nI love to shimmy down the Birch
\nand now that has been said
\nYou are Miss truly beautiful
\nand all that has been said
\nbefore about you, I agree
\ntis a lucky soul, who’d wed<\/p>\n
so sweet a lady, and so fair
\nI hope we meet again
\nI do come up here often
\nI use this space to train
\nand what of you I don’t remember
\nseeing you before
\nhave you lived here very long?
\n9 years, and I’m very sure
\nIts one of 16 cottages
\nnow who could ask for more
\nHe seemed infatuated
\nas he stared into her eyes
\nthey did appear so smoky
\nbut clearly she was wise
\nshe knew of great earth’s magic
\nand medicinal flowers
\nshe sat up on the heath at night
\nfor very many hours
\nher pet owl on her shoulder
\nher dragon at her shoe
\nlighting fire flies who flew by
\npainted red and blue<\/p>\n
The Goddess often talks of this
\nchance meeting, unaware
\nthat the Hare is so enamoured with
\nher raven locks of hair
\nwith her stately eyes
\nand wondrous smile
\nand the diction of a lark
\nthe amazing Dragon Goddess
\nwho on him had made her mark<\/p>\n
He couldn’t sleep for ages
\nor even sort of rest
\nhis head would touch the pillow
\nand you can guess the rest
\nhe ‘d sink into oblivion
\nall bottled up with fear
\nbut sleep his head was full of her
\nand how she brought him cheer<\/p>\n
Now the Goddess reminiscing
\nin her cottage by the Gade
\nwhat had become, of Mr Hare
\nand his Leveret brigade
\nhe was such a handsome fellow
\nwith his long legs and big ears
\nshe was sure he was al’right
\nbut felt some diamond tears<\/p>\n
roll slowly down her pretty face
\nand wet the ground where she
\nwas standing and a flash of light
\nand the Hare was dutifully
\nstanding in her shadow
\nGoddess he did say
\nI heard you call my name
\nand I came here right away<\/p>\n
That’s very kind the Goddess said
\nI’d, like you to be
\nliving in the garden near my cottage
\nthere’s a tree
\nA Yew
\nits very stout and tall
\nand will
\nprovide protection without doubt
\nthe gardens full of clover
\nand there’s lots more plants about<\/p>\n
I can share my Dragon stories
\nthis Harem we can share
\nWe can eat Harerissa sandwiches
\nand both be more aware
\nof the harebells and the Bluebells
\nand the hairy old man’s beard
\nthat grows along the country lanes
\nand apparently is feared
\nthe medicines of wood and vale
\nCome hear my Hare come here
\nI feel it would be good for both
\nof us to be sincere<\/p>\n
The Hare agreed to come to share
\nThe Goddesses abode
\nHe brought hair raising stories
\nWhen he lived by a main road
\nand both of them though different
\nfound love I hear and they
\ncuddled up on stormy nights
\nand passed their time away. <\/p>\n
