Jack O’ Hare Vs. The Pirates: A Poem
Jack O’ Hare Vs. The Pirates: A Poem
His name was Jack O’ Hare
bunny rabbit extraordinaire
a wild hare jack rabbit from afar
who hopped around- didn’t drive a car
He decided to try sailing the Seven Seas
after eating some wild mushrooms with his peas
The name of his ship he called The Orange Carrot
Those who don’t like the name must grin and bare it
He soon heard of a nasty group of pirates and buccaneers
while downing on an island tavern quite a number of beers
These weren’t gentlemanly pirates like Captain Jack Sparrow
These were nasty cutthroats who’d cut you to the bone and eat your marrow
Jack decided to rid the 7 Seas of this terror
and he’d do it with no time to spare
He raised his bunny rabbit flag- an orange carrot
high on the ship’s pole so no one could tear it
And set off after The Black Heart
the pirate ship of Captain Grimstone Dark
the wickedest pirate e’er to sail the Seven Seas
who once cut off his First Mate’s nose to stop a sneeze
Jack O’ Hare caught sight of The Black Heart
and finding no place to park
dropped anchor where he was
and asked why, said “Because…”
He then lined up tomatoes and green potatoes and shouted “Fire”
And when the ship’s bunny flag dropped, he said “Higher”
The Orange Carrot flew proudly from the mast
And Captain Grimstone’s heart grew overcast
when suddenly he was hit by a green potato
and then suddenly splattered by a red tomato
The pirate terror was down
his face resembled that of a clown
The bunnies then jumped aboard The Black Heart
and made sure its sails came apart
so it would never again sail the 7 Seas
meanwhile Captain Grimstone was on his knees
his buns were tomatoed by Sherrielock Holmes
while bunnies took photos with their smart phones
Jack O’ Hare then sank the pirate ship
and tweeted on Twitter, that was quite the trip
Captain Grimstone Dark became a circus clown
and underneath a painted smile wore a frown
Jack O’ Hare returned to land
and played the trumpet in a band
you can see him hopping in many a parade
the one drinking carrot juice amongst a line of Gatorade

Yes, I did.
You know I hear this has happened to some writers- that the characters they create seem to take on a will of their own and start acting independently of what the writer originally set out to do and eventually the writer just gives up and lets the characters go on their own merry way.
And the writer of the story ends up just as surprised as the reader at what happens in the tale.
And this has happened to me.
Back in 2009, I just let Renfield and Amadeus and all my other characters do whatever it was they want and I just sat back and watched as I wrote about what they did.
Weird huh?
Weird but nevertheless true.

Hah! I know that feeling. But mine was not a great experience. You know, when I did my novel on that horror story on an exorcist and that it came out to be alive in its own way that I had, had few nightmarish events that haunts me until today …
When I wrote the story on the ‘The Devil’s Promises’, I think I was followed and watched by ‘it’ – you know what I mean and it seems not to disturb me but somehow I felt something is there watching me and I am not sure what.
If you check that book at Amazon (for example) the books sellers or dealers wanted to sell it even more expensive than the original price. I have never seen anything like it and that they tried (everywhere) to sell that particular book over 50 dollars/pounds and one I found it …
Look at this …

But the thing is, I never seen that money again … I never receive any receipt from anyone. I felt betrayed by this. May be I should ask Nicholas if he can give me any advises on what I should do about it.
Dracul Van Helsing said,

Wow.
Is that ever something.
Charging way above the original price of the book and yet you’re not getting a penny from it.
Nicholas would be the one to ask all right.

I did messaged him at Facebook to respond to me as soon as possible. Will see what advises he can give me …
It makes me want to cry over it because it is my work, you know …

It is very much your work, Sherrie my dear friend.
I’m sorry they did that to you. 😦

Well, I am not the only writer that had that same fate … It is unfair, ain’t it? But I know the good will come my way. As if God restore all that what I had lost … I know He does …

Jack O’Hare is one adventurous bunny. I think he’s the one that terrorizes Tiger Mom in the garden by jumping out of the ferns at her then scooting off lickity-split while Tiger Mom squeals and stomps her feet. 😀
Dracul Van Helsing said,

Yes, Jack O’ Hare is one bunny who hops great distances. 🙂
He’s even managed to hop his way down to the ferns in Tiger Mom’s garden eh? LOL !
From Sherrie’s garden in Bavaria where he leads her garden gnomes into attacking the evil dwarves next door to playing peekaboo from behind Tiger Mom’s ferns. 😀
