Sometimes

Reaching for childhood’s nest of gladness

Rabbit

I have a bewildered rabbit who comes and helps me with household chores in the morning. I named her that because she has this bewildered expression all the time.

One saturday, she came half an hour earlier than needed. I insisted she waited it out for that time by watching tv because I hadn’t finished piling on the vessels. So I sweetly said, please be watching tv till nine o clock (this was the time I had asked her to come)

I switched on the tv to realise that there was no power at the cable station. She calmly settled down in front of the tv and looked at the grains and said ‘No problem. I will watch this’.

And so it is..

And, though the shadow of a sigh May tremble through the story, For “happy summer days” gone by, And vanish’d summer glory— It shall not touch with breath of bale, The pleasance of our fairy-tale.
