Read the Whole Story Below...

For this story to begin,
an introduction must be made.
Our young lad's name is Colin,
his Grandad's birthday is today.

With gift in hand and spring in step,
young Colin made his way,
to the old and rusty postbox that
sat on Rathdowne Lane.

The postbox neared, he gave a grin
as he picked up his pace...
Instead he got all twisted up
and fell flat on his face

The stamps flew high, the gift flew low
and then here comes a riddle,
for from his pocket flying fast
out shot a juicy pickle.

It hit the stamps and one stuck true
then flew into the box...
Colin leapt up and pulled the lid
His eyes grew wide with shock

Where should be letters piled high
with stamps and envelopes,
instead there was a staircase
leading where? He did not know...

He jumped into the postbox
and ran down those spiral stairs.
There ahead he saw the pickle
being carried by a... hare?

A postage hare in uniform
official as they come,
was carrying that pickle
at quite a speedy run.

It would not stop at Colin's shout
so chase had to be made...
Never had a stranger sight
been seen 'neath Rathdowne Lane.

Postage Hares all stopped and stared
as Colin chased and chased.
That postage hare was faster than
young Colin had ever faced.

Up and up and right and left
and up and left and right.
That pickle was almost in his reach,
he reached with all his might

His hand wrapped round that pickle,
the hare let out a cry...
It threw them out the tunnel
and up into the sky

And what a throw - so strong and true
Over homes and trees and rocks.
Colin landed perfectly
Inside a letterbox

Stuffed neat inside that box was he
and feeling rather sad...
The lid went up, two eyes looked down,
The eyes of his Granddad

Colin leapt up from that box
Then sadly gave a sniff
"I only have this pickle,
I lost your birthday gift..."

Granddad laughed and hugged young Colin,
giving him a tickle...
he didn't care about the gift,
he just said "I love pickles "
