The meaning of Easter seems lost

now to commerce

and the chocolate making machine

as some perhaps suggest

that a rabbit died

at Calgary, sentenced to be

a hot cross bunny, to take up our sins,

it’s the only explanation

that can be sought

when realising with certain eyebrow

raising deflection

that to complain about Watership Down

being on the little square box

“Today of all days”

is to have offended the Rabbit god,

I scratch my head in wonder at their

acceptance and their knowledge

of Tu’er Shen…

Upon reading that people had been complaining of Watership Down had been shown on television over Easter.
