The Easter Bunny and the Easter Hare
During
Easter week the Easter Bunnies are so busy, free time is very rare,
Picking
chocolate eggs and rabbits, colored eggs, Easter grass and candies for children
to share.
On
Easter morn, hard to find a doorstep without the signs that an Easter Bunny has hopped there
But this year the Easter Bunnies were facing a very fearful scare
But
this year was different as the bird flu was wiping out the hen populations in
coops
making
eggs hard for shoppers to find
Worse
the prices were soaring to amounts sky high so even it eggs were found soaring
prices put shoppers in a bind
How
to enjoy omelets, quiches and Eggs Benedict
And
Easter Eggs in to the Easter basket interdict
While
the Easter Bunnies were running in circles worrying so much they appeared ready
to drop
But
the Guttenberg Hare had a solution that would cause there rising anxiety to
stop
Along
with Easter Eggs to be dyed place recipes that called for 2 eggs rather than 3
And
added mushrooms, bacon, green peppers, thicker ham slices and more cheese for
the diners to see
And
instead of grass at the baskets’ bottom one or two books to read and enjoy
Of
bios, adventures, mysteries, romance , science, comic heroes or history showing
the tools to advance mankind employed
Dyed
eggs will create in aspiring artists great satisfaction and pleasure
But
as the eggs spoil and are tossed in the trash, that satisfaction will soon be hard
to measure
Knowing, his words had ended any Easter Bunny from blowing his casket
He
bent over an empty woven Easter Basket.
He
lifted and put into his Easter basket a book every child would want to read,
“Friend
rabbits, chocolate is divine; on it children will always draw a bead,
But
to leave a good book to read
Is
like a farmer planting the seeds,
Of
morals, thoughts, fables, or heroes to do good deeds,
Teachings
and lessons to show the way or teach how to lead.
Lucky
is the child, who has a large chocolate to savor and not waste,
While
reading a book for sweet knowledge is also a long lasting taste.”
And
so with a voice vote that closed the friendly debate,
For
no rabbit on Easter morn wished to be late,
