“I’ve lost my madness.” moaned the goat to the hen.
“Or is it that I’ve lost my mind?”
“You’re too deep for me.” said she to he.
“Let’s just be served with rice.”
To this he replied, “Are you suggesting we die? Give up. Give in. Be dinner?”
“You misunderstood me, my friend.” said that disinterested hen before she clucked her way into her house.
“Oh! Oh! Dear me! I’m alone as can be!” whined and baaed the goat to the trees.
“So much on mind. No friends have I. Who shall I debate my sanity with now?”
“You’re nuts nuts nuts!” declared a voice from above. “Go to sleep! Stop your lamenting!”
“The moon mocks me tonight!” cried the goat full of fright as he ran to hide in the barn.
Hidden by leaves, the rabbit laughed in victory, but uttered not a word more.
