6 Silver Bunnies At Waterloo

Broken lines dangle between

Vital voices at Waterloo.

 

Slick Rick on one end,

Skips and laughs-

Parading his mangled heart

On his crookedly stolen stick-

 

Draws circles with it

Around a blinking fire

That has risen,

Around some bush.

 

Olive sits firmly,

Scissors in hand,

Eyes shut, palms to the skies,

Though,

She skips and laughs sneakily,

Crying out, please, oh Popeye,

Save me!

Having slipped out of the bind,

Rick put her in.

 

6 Silver bunnies,

With empty pockets,

Sit, twitching

On gold mine expenses,

Looking for those who will come

With precious carrots,

Once word spreads of their

Glinting furs.
