David Fisher Poet Couplet

Oh My Gosh It's Almost Easter

Oh my gosh it’s almost Easter
Time to get off my fat keister.

To buy a dozen eggs, or more
Coz now there’s five kids over four.

And one of them always cries
Painting eggs with stupid dyes.

I almost forgot the candy bars;
Who needs new brakes for the cars?

I don’t have time to talk to you
Where are the peeps or poops or pooh?

And then I’ll stay up way to late
Hiding eggs for Pete Rabbit’s sake.

I got to get all this stuff done
To make the holiday more fun.

But someday I’ll be all done with
This crazy Easter Bunny myth.

Wait!  I’ll save a pile of money
By killing off the Easter Bunny.

And lay him down in a casket
On plastic grass from a basket.

Timothy Hicks March 13, 2013 at 11:16 AM I like your style, mate. Full of cynical humor. I can really understand where you're coming from with the couplet about being in a great rush to make the holiday fun. It's those moments where everything doesn't turn out right... those moments where the whole family is just together for a split second that make it worth while!
