Jack O’ Hare’s Magic Carpet Ride: A Poem
Jack O’ Hare’s Magic Carpet Ride
Now one might think folks are full of blarney
claiming to see leprechauns near Lake Killarney
but wild hare jack rabbit Jack O’ Hare
as he travelled across the Emerald Isle green and fair
claimed to have seen just that
so he told a Guinness drinking cat.
So Jack and the cat headed out
stumbling across the land round about
till they ran into Seamus the leprechaun
enjoying a dinner of steak and prawn
So Seamus, what’s up?
Jack asked sipping his cup.
Replied the wee leprechaun Seamus
who gazed with telescope at planet Uranus,
“I’ve got some magic mushrooms from Bavaria,
brought to me by a fräulein barmaid with a lovely pair of…”
“Coconuts!” shouted the cat looking at Seamus’ South Seas food ware
-tropical delights arranged with such care.
“That she had!”
said Seamus very glad.
Explained the leprechaun further, “She got them from Gunter Glockenspiel the Magic Garden elf
who often reads from Sherrie’s books on the shelf
while he warred with the Seven Evil Dwarves in the garden next door
while noble cat Tiger and noble dog Ambos slept in the house on the floor
he help himself to the evil dwarves’ plunder of magic mushrooms galore.
He sent some to me courtesy of Fräulein Helga
whose pair of knockers is really quite swell-a.”
So the three ate the mushrooms and had to agree
undergoing experiences of cosmic ecstasy
they learned to think psychedelically
and taught the clouds to sing in harmony.
It was really quite the magic carpet ride
stars and mermaids and surging tide
they had much to seek
and nothing to hide
For when they awoke, they found their clothes had gone astray
until they remembered, for 2 of them, it was always this way
while Seamus nude of derrière and red of face
ran and hid some place
They discovered he had hid in a stack of hay
and didn’t come out for many a night and many a day.

I just love your characters, dear Chris, they have so much personality, and truly each of them has something to say. Very well done!

Wild hare jack rabbits and leprechauns always find a way to do the coolest things. Who knew magic mushrooms and clothes don’t mix?
Dracul Van Helsing said,
January 6, 2016 at 5:32 pm
Yes, that probably explains why Sherrielock Holmes was painted in the nude by Toulouse Lautrac and Modigliani. 😀
Hyperion said,

I’m certain mushrooms were involved and maybe a glass of the green fairy.
Dracul Van Helsing said,
January 6, 2016 at 6:10 pm
Yes, many a tale has absinthe spun
along with opium and a glass of rum.
Hyperion said,
January 6, 2016 at 8:44 pm
I think it was the fuel for lots of creative endeavors. Mostly lounging and dreaming, but that’s part of the creative process, I believe.
Dracul Van Helsing said,
January 6, 2016 at 8:53 pm
You may enjoy this poem I wrote 3 years ago about the drinking of absinthe and creativity.
Plus you may like the hero of the poem who’s an absinthe drinking green dragon.
He may have been the forgotten genius who invented the Orgasmatron machine for the Black Dragons. 😛

It was a very fine poem indeed. Poor green dragon…It was fun while it lasted. 😀
Dracul Van Helsing said,
January 8, 2016 at 4:30 pm
Yes, for one brief shining moment in the dragon’s life, there was Camelot… minus Sir Gawain’s lance going up his muck shute. 😀
Hyperion said,
January 8, 2016 at 5:01 pm
Ouch! What a way to treat a friend of the King.
Dracul Van Helsing said,
January 8, 2016 at 5:40 pm
Yes, the things some folks did back then just to earn a knighthood and a seat at the Round Table. 😛

We were rough on the buffalo too. That got us scalped by Chief Yelling Bear and his band of merry men.
Dracul Van Helsing said,
January 9, 2016 at 6:24 pm
Yes, the days of Chief Sitting Bull and Little Big Horn.
Now, these are the days of Chief Throwing Bull and Little Big Ass.
Hyperion said,
January 9, 2016 at 6:34 pm
Haahahahahahahhhaaaaaa! Yes, lots of political bull is blasting from that @$$
Dracul Van Helsing said,

Never has community organizing raised such a stink.
Hyperion said,
January 9, 2016 at 8:04 pm
It puts pig farming in a more respectable light, I’d say.
Dracul Van Helsing said,
January 9, 2016 at 8:28 pm
Yes, Washington is now longing for the days of pork barreling politics.
Hyperion said,
January 9, 2016 at 9:35 pm
Where are all those dynamic corrupt politicians that kept everything greased and sliding along when you need them?
Dracul Van Helsing said,
January 10, 2016 at 12:34 am
Well as Peter, Paul and Mary would probably sing in answer to your question, “…. gone to graveyards, everyone.”
Hyperion said,
January 10, 2016 at 10:49 am
I’m conflicted. It seems the pork-bellied corrupt officials we had before did a much better job than the Willy Nilly Assclowns we have today. I hate it when I have to chose between the lesser evil. I’d prefer a better choice but the pool is very mucky down at the political bottom.
Dracul Van Helsing said,
January 10, 2016 at 6:11 pm
Yes, it is strange how that works.
Like in the days of the so-called smoked filled back rooms at the conventions, better candidates for high office were actually chosen rather than through the primary system where the voters supposedly selected the candidates.
Like at the 1944 Democratic Presidential convention where the back room power brokers decided that Roosevelt better drop Henry Wallace as Vice-President and select Harry Truman as his running mate since they knew Roosevelt probably wouldn’t live much longer.
The power brokers made a wise choice.
Henry Wallace was a practicing occultist and a real weirdo in his world view- the sort of person who would be backed by America’s New Age super mama Oprah Winfrey and her droves of flaky disciples among the American electorate.
Harry Truman selected by the power brokers went on to become a great President in his own right.
Hyperion said,
January 10, 2016 at 6:58 pm
Now the power brokers are the liberal rich elitists that want all their perversions codified and the opposition vilified. We need to bring bourbon, cigars, and hookers back to politics to straighten this mess out. Where’s Fannie Fox and Wilber Mills when you need them.
Dracul Van Helsing said,
January 10, 2016 at 7:04 pm
That’s a good point.
An excellent campaign slogan Bring Back Bourbon, Cigars and Hookers. Let’s Make America Great Again.
I can already feel a Draft Renfield Movement coming on.
Hyperion said,
January 10, 2016 at 7:08 pm
Bwaaaaa haaaaaa haaaaaa! I’d vote for Renfield with Amadeus as his VP and Michelangelo as Chief of Staff. Then Sherrielock Holmes would make an excellent Secretary of Defense. She’d whip things into shape.
Dracul Van Helsing said,
January 10, 2016 at 7:16 pm
An era that will be looked upon as a new golden age in American politics. 😀
Hyperion said,
January 11, 2016 at 5:28 pm
I replied but WP was acting up, don’t know if you got the reply or not but Do see the Renfield era as a marked improvement. Camelot II.
Dracul Van Helsing said,
January 11, 2016 at 5:50 pm
Camelot II indeed. 🙂
Hyperion said,
January 11, 2016 at 7:02 pm
Who’s Kennedy, we want Renfield!
Dracul Van Helsing said,
January 11, 2016 at 11:29 pm
President Renfield: I know the best place to stick a Cuban cigar…
Anderson Cooper: That was President Renfield speaking from the Coital Office of the Western White House located on the Moonlite Bunny Ranch east of Carson City, Nevada. For CNN, I’m Anderson Cooper…

What the …. So, they DID that all in my garden while I travelled up in France or what???? It must the King Toupee of Hell who ordered them to search for my magic mushrooms, right?
I’m going to build my own terracota Chinese army in my garden and guarding my plastic fairy garden! LOL
With General Jack O’ Hare provide his mass production of carrot ammunitions! With all the veges. Healthy way of attacking and the enemies got to eat ’em all till they exploded!
( ◡‿◡ *)
Dracul Van Helsing said,
January 25, 2016 at 5:41 pm
ROTFL ! 😀
A splendid idea, Sherrie.
Building a Terracotta Army of Chinese soldiers to guard your plastic fairy garden.
And General Jack O’ Hare’s ammunition of carrots will be a healthy way for King Hell Toupee’s army to die after exploding from overeating – not to mention the excellent eyesight they’ll have at the moment of kicking the bucket. 😀
ѕнєяяιє ∂є ναℓєяια said,

And plus the maize! They protested because of the fake toupee because they said they are the very ORIGINAL ONE! lol
Dracul Van Helsing said,
January 26, 2016 at 3:47 am
Yes, King Hell Toupee used his hair to impersonate a head of maize corn. 😀
ѕнєяяιє ∂є ναℓєяια said,
January 26, 2016 at 3:57 am
hahaha …
The Maize Emperor said, ‘To hell with your fake toupee, Trumpy boy! Mine is bitter! Softer! Very blond! And so naturally Naturally! Now! Fire!’
hahaha … Trump will got a whole of both carrots and maize falling all on top of him!
‘Yeah! Take that! That take! And eat this!’ As General Jack O’ Hare triumphing! LOL
Dracul Van Helsing said,
January 26, 2016 at 4:01 am
A thoroughly tossed salad shall be made of King Hell Toupee.
And the maize and the carrots will be triumphant.
And the magic mushrooms will be safe from predators. 😀

Yay!
And Sherrielock-Holmes went naked!
And all the dwarfs went blind after gazing at her boobs and booty. And all lobster tank in the world exploded! LOL
Dracul Van Helsing said,
January 26, 2016 at 4:19 am
And while Lady Godiva rode a horse causing Peeping Tom to go blind after seeing her boobs and booty, Sherrielock Holmes rode a Unicorn.
And though for one brief shining moment, all the Dwarves were as horny as the Unicorn’s horn, they were immediately blinded.
And lobster tanks had to be replaced everywhere in the world.
ѕнєяяιє ∂є ναℓєяια said,

hahahaha … LOL
Poor creatures are blinded in the fairy world. Lady Godiva is amazing. 😀
Dracul Van Helsing said,
January 26, 2016 at 4:50 am
She quite literally rode bare back and bare everything else as well. 😀
