Listen To The Rabbit. Poem by Nomad Goggs

So many times I hear people,
telling me what they don't like,
don't like this, don't like that,
and that's a load of shite.

I wonder why they bother,
if ever they'll be happy at all,
will they ever have a good time?
will they ever have a ball?

Now I'm not a complainer,
you may not think so after this,
but I try to be constructive,
not constantly take the piss.

I wish that all these people,
could find something to make them glad,
and not always go on about,
the things that make them sad.

Don't they realise they're not the only ones,
suffering on this planet of ours,
don't they realise how really quite lucky they are,
when they moan for hours and hours.

So apologies to Walt Disney,
but Thumper was right after all,
'cos if you ain't got anything nice to say,
then don't say nothing at all!
