White Rabbit

Artist/Author: Spike Mclarrity | Reference: P4253 | ISBN: 978-1-5272-8823-2 | Type: Publication

Celebrating ten years of Barnes’ White Rabbit.

 

He makes everyone smile on a miserable day,

And does lots of things in his own unique way,

He loves art and performance and sometimes he’ll sing,

His outlook on life is a wonderful thing.

He’s quite a celebrity and travelled afar,

He’s met famous people some of them stars,

New countries, new culture and so much more,

To live life to the full is what he aims for.

Around his home town he’s a familiar sight,

With his bright coloured clothes and Japanese bike.

He cycles around shouting hello as he goes,

This is White Rabbit who everyone knows.
