Falling Down the Rabbit Hole

I met a Stranger yesterday,
his house was esoteric and his way was strange.
He asked if I was buying,
I told him I was visiting a friend I'd only met moments before.

He showed me through the door.

My bare feet touched the stone,
and breathlessly I stepped without a sound;
He said, "Come inside and look around,
the best view's six feet underground."

Raven met a Rabbit,
fixed his beady eyes upon the shiny face of Rabbit's pocket watch.
Rabbit knew his time was near -
all he could hear was the tumultuous sound of Daddy's ticking clock;

and upon the door he knocked.

He was greeted with a groan,
and hand in hand we danced the circle 'round;
He said, "Come inside and look around,
the best view's six feet underground."
