“Easter Bunny”
By Kia West

I wonder if the Easter Bunny is a permanent position
Or if the little bunnies must take part in an audition
Of what the Easter Bunny does each year to bring such pleasure
Hiding eggs and choccy gifts outside so kids can find their treasure

Or maybe it’s an army of cotton tailed militia
Who rise up with their sweet treats that will clog a dental fissure
Perhaps there are a million happy hoppy little helpers
Trying to reach each house and flat and other types of shelters

When they dash about your garden, they’re as stealthy as a fox
And don’t forget to check for eggs inside your own mailbox
They’re sneaky fluffy ninjas, they’re ghosts without a “boo”
They’re hopping off their tails to bring such joy to you

So next time that you find an egg nestled in your lawn
Think of the Easter Bunny who’s hopping with a yawn
Under cover of darkness, they’ve worked hard throughout the night
So every little child can have a treat when it gets light

And on the days that they are just normal little rabbits
They can’t help but steal some naughty human habits
Of chowing down on chocolates and sticky scrummy sweets
They deserve indulgence for achieving Easter feats
