Hare and King - A very funny poem by Wolfgang Hampel - author of the global success 'Satire is my favorite animal', according to many critics and readers, one of the most humorous books of all time --------------------------- Hare and King Copyright March 29, 2025 by Wolfgang Hampel All rights reserved The hare is flying to the USA, a miracle is coming true for him today. He hurries to the White House very quickly. The king looks very perplexed. He has put on his crown, says: "I feel rushed. Because of this stupid bird flu, Easter is going to fall over the cliff! I need lots of eggs from you for the most wonderful Easter celebration, with my portrait very nice. The whole world should see me then." "No problem at all!" says the hare. "We're working an extra shift, but due to customs duties and fees, it will lead to high costs." The king adjusts his crown, thinks the 'long-eared one' is not without merit, says: "My Tesla carriage is your reward! Then you'll sit as if on a throne!" The hare calls out: "Too kind, Your Majesty, but I hope you understand, my good reputation would suffer then, so I'd rather avoid that! Only real things, that is, cash, because without mice and eggs, nothing works – not even an Easter celebration!" The king now lays down his weapons, would like to bark at the cheeky one, but he really needs this deal. So the hare quickly reaches his goal. We wish you all the very best for Easter today, from the bottom of our hearts, very large eggs on the lawn, from our clever Easter Bunny!
