The Easter Accident
Before I ever write this tale
I hope you will all forgive me
It was just a horrible accident
It was dark and I just couldn't see
I was driving home one night
On a narrow country road
It was raining, something awful
When I heard my tire explode
I lost control and couldn't stop
That's when I started to swerve
I heard a thump and a terrible scream
As I came to a stop in the curve
I thought I'd hit a possum
Probably even broken it's legs
Imagine the horror that I was in
When I saw all those Easter eggs
Yep, you guessed it
I had killed the Easter bunny
Ok, everybody stop laughing
Cause I really don't think it's funny
I tried to find that poor little rabbit
And maybe give him CPR
But when I finally found him
He was stuck to the grill of my car
So, I picked up the little fellow's basket
And all those broken shells
I had to get rid of the evidence
Cause you know how a rotten egg smells
I buried him in a shallow grave
Under a giant oak tree
His basket and all the easter eggs
Are in my trunk under lock and key
Well, again, I want to apologize
So, forget everything you saw
At least, we know that a rabbit's foot
Just isn't that lucky at all
