Hasenpfeffer

Dinner is served

By Andrew C McDonaldPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Supine lupine

Resting on his paws

Thin chin

‘Neath slavering jaws

Tightened, frightened

Rabbit twixt his claws

Quivers, shivers

Stares in horrific awe

Thinner dinner

Ought’a be a law

Still, will

Munch bunny before he thaws

Raucous shock us

Nearby crows caw

Shook, look

Feathery audience to meal bloody raw

Snort, retort

Growl through full maw

Mine dine

A’fore you ever saw

Vexed next

Should next you again caw

Chef! Here’s my Hasenpfeffer.

Mmmmmmmm….

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
