Four march hares dashing, Running right to left, From my window. Three march hares dash back, Running left to right,
I thought my heart was broken But now my heart is fixed I wished I had a cocktail And now the cocktail’s mixed. I’ve finally reached the age,
Today I invested some time. In, The space between the spaces. Pushing through gaps thinner than… A particle here,
