Hollow

In front of Jackson's candy shop Looking into its window Designs of Easter eggs, rabbits Wrapped in bright foiled colors Ah purple, green, yellow, pink And all in such abundance. Mouth so waters at the scene Eyes glisten at its wonder. One large so rabbit Dressed in foil of pink and white And on its head a purple flower Its size almost reached the sky. Hollow chocolate eggs With springtime scenes its view Easter baskets filled with goodies One better that the other But none as pretty as the rabbit. If only I would get This rabbit the biggest one of all None other! Easter morning I awoke And to my big surprise There stood the treasure of my eyes It seemed to wink and smile I kissed the foil of pink and white My heart felt warm and fluttered Dare I remove the cover, such beauty? And taste its delicacy Carefully I so opened Its pink and white attire Closed my eyes, took a bite Its taste was sweet divine Oh my it lost its feet And inside, sad to say The rabbit it was HOLLOW!
