Moore on Rabbit

The rabbit foot you gave me,
I wonder should I keep it.
We know mummies' wraps
should not be desecrated.
Should not than the rabbit's feet
be treated with similar deference?
What if it's severed owner
should resurrect tomorrow
a most annoyed Adolf Hitler?

I know not what to think,
even Stonehenge scares me.
A monument to multible erections
to honor obscene pagan rituals
surely nothing to take lightly
or dare to wink at.

To stroke a rabbit's foot, likewise,
how can you be so cocky
as to, at least, not consider the possiblity
that you may unleash on all mankind
a curse of biblical proportions
Oh no, not me, I'll play it safe
and keep for pet, instead,
a 10 foot boa constrictor.
