Doug “Rabbit” Sutherland, Minister of Reality
CARPET MILL
Long, long before all videos
Went viral, to a flaw,
There was an old time “movie short”
That everybody saw.
It showed a huge contraption in
A carpet making mill,
And, up above, a catwalk where
A worker took a spill
And fell into the workings where
It gobbled up his hide
And wove him into throw rugs where
He peered out, stupefied!
I thought it was a lesson in
How not to live a life–
A sort of cautionary tale
To save us pain and strife.
In other words, the movie said,
“Beware of getting smug
And falling into someone’s life
And ending up a rug!”
Are you still alive? Do you remember rockin’ robin from the Diner in Sedona? You wrote a poem about me in the Excentric many years ago. Yep, I’m still around. Are YOU?
Hey rabbit! Remember me?? Meow lol
