Bunny Nabbed For Stealing Carrots-Welcome Spring Poetry Contest

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There once was a bunny named Devin his siblings and he totaled seven. One day while out hopping and mummy was shopping the carrot patch 'twas seventh heaven! When from shopping his Mummy returned she was none too happy with news she'd learned. Said she to her bunny stealing isn't funny and this may be a hard lesson learned. Devin's dad was the Easter Bunny made him forfeit his pocket money. Tonight I'm real busy and I'm in a tizzy help out and I'll forgive you sonny. With Easter eggs piled up to the hilt Devin’s keen to be rid of his guilt. Easter Bunny and son quickly got the job done Devin's dignity's now been rebuilt.

Dear Sara, This is such a delightful poem! It's a fun and creative take on the Easter theme, with Devin's carrot caper and his subsequent redemption through helping his dad. The rhyming scheme is catchy, and the ending leaves a smile on my face. A very playful poem!- Blessings, Daniel

thank you, Daniel, for your visit. I'm glad my humorous Easter poem brought a smile to your face. I don't normally right something humorous and never know if I'm effective at doing so. Your words assured me that mission was accomplished. Enjoy your evening, Sara

They do say, a carrot patch a day keeps the eye doctor away. Devin will certainly be a politician when he grows up.
