Church's Easter Hat Parade

Lavender turkey eggs amid purple straw hat With fake turquoise frosting, She sits next to me in the hard pew What kind of sugar ants will be parading up here now? For I see this is real frosting she has added A two-year-old wearing an engaging smile Sits next to her. Not aware if they are related. Church gets ultra-busy on Easter morning Lots of strangers. Is that a Big bird hat? False alarm. It is a yellow Easter basket hat. Complete with a giant bunny that dangles down her back. Made of faux fur, thank goodness. Little girls she sat beside would be shrieking now if this bunny was real. Girls cannot keep their paws off her bunny, which has googly eyes. The next hat walking in has a jaunty cross pinned to the top of it. The wearer appears arrogant, proud, haughty even, A blatant contrast to Christ, who was none of these things. Sh! Someone hisses. "Here is the minister." A hat-less man Who immediately comments on the wonderful congregation and The unique hats. He cannot keep his eyes off carrot hat woman. Her creation is two meters tall - a giant blue bunny holding two bunches of dangling carrots, that take up so much of the pew, no one else can sit there. It matches her wild blue and orange flowered smock that barely covers her knees. I wear my simple Easter hat with pride, Cockily thinking I am both subtle and sleek. Others begin pointing and laughing. My Easter chick apparently got nervous and left me several little presents. I knew I should have made the background brown.
