Hare and Punk

In a distant forest lived fluffy Hare,
Slick, lively and full of various jokes.
He jumped and frolicked tirelessly
And ran through the forest day after day.

But suddenly from the bushes, damp and gloomy,
Punk appeared in a leather jacket.
He looked menacingly at surprised Hare,
As if asking a silent question.

"What kind of Hare is so brave and cheerful,
Who is ready to run and jump everywhere?
What if I rip your stupid head off?
I'm Punk, I'm capable of literally anything!"

Hare was frightened and said quietly:
"I swear to God, I'm simple Hare,
I'm not looking for trouble,
I want to jump and be friends with everyone."

But Punk did not listen, he growled angrily
And tried to pounce on Hare.
Hare barely dodged this attack
And said even more quietly, in a whisper:
"Okay, Punk, I'll tell you my secret.
I'm not really Hare, but Guess Who Am I.
I was a man, but in 1979 I was bewitched
And since then I've been jumping in the woods."

"You're Sid Vicious!" - Punk exclaimed in shock.

"Yes, it's me. Now get out and let me jump.
Otherwise, you will be bewitched too,
And we'll have to jump together."

"I'll tell you my secret too, - Punk said softly. -
Actually I'm not Punk, I'm pharaoh from ancient Egypt.
I was bewitched, God knows how many centuries ago,
Since then I've been wearing this leather jacket
And pester all the people like an idiot."

"Ohoho... - Hare sighed. - Let's hug, bro.
Damned sorcerers, damned life. Let's go have a drink."
