Meeting the Easter Bunny by Rowena Bennett
On Easter morn at early dawn
before the cocks were crowing
I met a bob-tail bunnykin
and asked where he was going.

"Tis in the house and out the house
a-tispy, tipsy-toeing,
Tis round the house
and 'bout the house a-lighlty I am going."

"But what is that of every hue
you carry in your basket?"
"Tis eggs of gold and eggs of blue;
I wonder that you ask it.

"Tis eggs of gold and eggs of blue;

"Tis chocolate eggs and bonbon eggs
and eggs of red and gray,
For every child in every house
on bonny Easter day.

For every child in every house
on bonny Easter day.
He perked his ears
and winked his eye and twitched his little nose;
He shook his tail -- what tail he had --
and stood up on his toes.

"I must be gone before the sun;
the east is growing gray;
Tis almost time for bells to chime."
-- So he hippety-hopped away.

*********************************************************************** I thought that poem was cute. A bit of a tongue twister but sweet. Hope you have a wonderful Easter. If you do not celebrate Easter I hope that you enjoy your weekend with some rest and relaxation!
Here’s a little something to make you laugh….at least it cracked me up! Make sure your volume is up on your computer before you play the clip.
Happy Easter!!
ReplyDeleteI have to prepare the chocolate eggs and hide them after we come back from church tomorrow. The kids are so looking forward to their Easter egg hunt. :)
