Transcendental Sonnet #990:
Grey Rabbit
I am not in the habit
Of seeing a grey rabbit
Hop by on slippered feet in my backyard
Right past a dozen ravens
Those scavengerial mavens
Who took no notice since were working hard
To harvest dry spaghetti
I broke up like confetti
And scattered as in triumphal array
To welcome their darkness to this new day
The Virginia opossums
Among late-summer blossoms
Have so many teeth a tail to annoy
But this odd grey rabbit I quite enjoy
