Easter Surprise

EASTER SURPRISE This little known tale Has never been popular But happily true About the Easter chicken The bunny being stricken Peter was careless And as much was he fearless Farmer Brown knew well He brewed a toad stool cocktail The results I’m here to tell Peter eyed the brew It steamed all golden yellow First sip was mellow But then the sleep dose took hold Poor Pete slumped went cold Chicken cried for joy When Pete lay down in deep sleep How long she’d waited To have precious eggs to keep Now she sat hatching her young When her job was done She gathered the tiny chicks A kiss for each one Filled the nests with jelly beans Hazel nuts and bits of sticks Then to her duty What better than colored eggs Save the day to fix? What to fill a child with joy? Why each nest with fuzzy chick
