NaBloPoMo 2021.22 We found Monty Python's Wooden Rabbit Abandoned on 17th Street

Remember this scene from the Holy Grail movie? 

We were walking home along 17th Street at midnight minding our own business and get a load of this: 

It's a full-size replica of the wooden rabbit from the movie!

That black car there had a parking ticket on the windshield.
The rabbit did not.

The ears fell off at some point, I guess.

Tom and I both stopped in our tracks and stared at the rabbit. We knew it looked familiar. It didn't take long to solve the mystery. We've both seen the Holy Grail movie forty times. In fact, we even saw the Holy Grail Broadway play featuring whatshisface Niles from Frazier.

The next day, I was walking down 17th, this time with Greg. We came upon a middle-aged gentleman circling the rabbit. A not-so-happy middle-aged gentleman, I might add. 

The gentleman said he lives in the building right here (he points behind him) and then snaps into a whole big rant about how there is a homeless man living in the rabbit. 

Just that morning, says the gentleman, the homeless guy took all of his things out of the rabbit and sorted through them on the sidewalk. The gentleman found this upsetting. He was really pretty apoplectic about this homeless person. I am uncertain how he may have felt about the actual rabbit. 

The gentleman called the cops. The cops came, stared at the rabbit, scratched their heads and left.

Greg and I looked at each other. And we left too.

That's it. That's the whole blog post.  There's a wooden rabbit still on 17th street with a homeless chap inside it. Also a neighbor gentleman kicking up a ruckus.
