The Hunt

Ears high,

Hackles raised,

Body poised,

Run rabbit run

Leads loose,

Reins tight,

Guns cocked,

Run rabbit run

Gates open.

People cheer,

The horses are ready

Run rabbit run

Grass is a blur,

Thons are trampled,

Birds fly,

Run rabbit run

Tongues hanging,

Muddy coats,

The hunt is on,

Run rabbit run

Opportunities missed,

Horses slipping,

Bang!

Run rabbit run

Bloody pelt,

Out of ammo,

Rain is felt,

Run rabbit run

Call the dogs,

Slow down horses,

Turn around,

Run rabbit run

Sent is gone,

Rabbit is lost,

There’s always tomorrow,

Run rabbit run
