Poetry Month, Day 9 - Hasenpfeffer

Today's word was given to me by Liz Austin, my sort of niece!  I had only heard this word on Laverne and Shirley, in their theme song.  You can watch it here.  I wasn't sure what it meant and I was a little disturbed when I found out it's rabbit stew!! 

Hasenpfeffer

On the first day of each month,

the first words that I speak,

are Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit.

I know it - I'm a freak!

But really it's good luck,

well, at least it's always been.

Until one dreadful morning,

for this vegetarian!

I woke to such an odor

that wafted on the zephyr.

Imagine my disgust

when I found the hasenpfeffer!!
