"All right mates, I guess it's only fair that I have my turn." Bunny said as he walked up to the stage.
"But bunny you've already sung!" Tooth said.
"Don't count Sheila! Sandy doesn't have a holiday so his' works, but there were other Easter spirits singing with me before so now I'm going to do a solo. North did one after all. And no I didn't do a solo before either because I was singing with King." Bunny amended.
"Sounds like somebody's actually enjoying themselves! What do you know I may have actually broken through that hard skull of yours!" Jack said leaning back on his staff looking quite pleased with himself.
"Rack off show pony." Bunny scolded.
Bunny went up to the band and started talking with them. They looked at him a little strange having never heard of the song he suggested so he asked for the drumsticks and began beating out a very simple rhythm. Soon after he took up a guitar and plucked out a simple tune that followed along with the rhythm of the drums. Now that they had it the band picked up the melody easily and bunny turned to the crowd.
(1) "In the wild Australian ranges came The word one fateful day, to every town and village that a boy had lost his way. All the townsfolk quickly gathered and the wild Bush horses tossed. As they went to search the ranges for a little boy lost."
From the crowd many creatures began to sway and move in a very particular style, it looked somewhat like a country swing but it had its own jaunt to it so to speak. The Easter Bourbeau was one of them.
"There is danger in this country that seldom men have crossed, and they wonder if they'll find the little boy lost."
"Is Bunny singing a sad story?" Tooth asked worriedly.
"Don't know." North said.
As Bunny continued to sing of the long days of searching and the mother's weeping in prayer for her boy to be found, the assumption that Tooth had grew stronger.
"The little towns are deserted, no one Walks upon the streets. For they comb the wild Bush country on a thousand aching feet. They searched every Hidden Valley though his trail they never crossed, and their hopes are slowly fading for this little boy lost."
"Why would he sing this!" Tooth asked as she began to sob.
Her answer came soon after when bunny smiled happily singing the near to final verse.
"The blazing sun beat down upon the earth that fourth and final day, With heavy hearts they prayed to God above to show the way. When from a scrubby gully came a voice they ne'er forgot! 'Where's my daddy, where's my daddy!' cried the little boy lost!"
Tooth wiped tears from her eyes as she breathed a sigh of relief and North gave a hearty laugh at bunny's song, having a feeling in his belly that bunny may have had a hand in the little boy surviving for four days in the Australian outback and finding his way home.
"In the far Australian ranges there's a boy who's known so well, There is a story that the townsfolk and the bushmen often tell. Where he fought a rugged country where man has seldom crossed, And a mother's prayers were answered for her little boy lost!"
This song is an Australian song that may or may not have truth to it. However there was a little autistic boy of three years old who was missing for four days and three nights in the Australian outback, not long ago, who was found in a small gully drinking water from the river and surviving on his own. I praise God that this family found their little boy and whatever guardian angel kept him safe while he was alone is a blessing to his family and him!
P.S: I apologize to all of you. My writing has been sporadic at best and my posting even more so. After my dad died I had a very long dry spell and then I got engaged. I am happy to say I am writing again and want to thank you all for your patience. There are more chapters to each of my ongoing songfictions and I will post them as I can. I am in fact writing Christmas themed ones right now, though I can't promise they will be out this season, they will be ready to post next winter when they line up with the appropriate holidays. And hopefully I will have others to post sooner. Thanks to all you readers, followers, and reviewers out there!
