He was talking to his girl on the phone as he got into my taxi.
I asked him where he was going and when he said where it was.
I pulled away from the curb and he resumed his kissy-face over the phone.
I heard bits of the conversation, but didn't pay much attention, as usual.
He talked with her all the way over and when we got there; he reached for his money
and said: “Oh, shit! I left my money home! We have to go back!”
I radioed dispatch; and as we started back; I heard him say: “Why, do you want a rabbit?
You don't do anything with them, they just sit in their cage and you feed them and clean the cage.
Well, yeah, you can hold them.”Just then we pulled up to his house and he got out and ran inside to get his money. He came back shortly and was still talking to his girl. I started back to where he was going and I heard him say:” There's only two, one male and one female?” By then, we were out in traffic and I wasn't paying much attention, until I heard him say: “So, what do they look like? I like the ones with white fur and red eyes!” What do you mean you haven't seen them?” What if they're ugly?”
“ I said; What if the rabbits are ugly?” My thoughts were kind of stuck between watching the traffic and the idea of an ugly rabbit. “ The male is brown and the female black and white? Which one do you think you are going to get?” He talked with his girl until we were almost at his destination and I didn't pay much attention to the rest of their conversation; being lost in thought about ugly rabbits. When we arrived, I gave him the price of the fare and as he paid me, I told him that I was going to write a short story for Neopoet and that if he wanted to look and see how it came out, he should come to the site. So... If you see this, this is what I remember of the trip and I may have inadvertently changed the color of the rabbits or misconstrued some of the facts
or the order in which things occurred, but essentially, that is the story! I hope that you liked seeing it here and will come back and maybe even become a member of Neopoet! Thanks for the idea for the story and I hope the rabbit thing, works out! ~ Geezer.
