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

Ralph's right, Larry. Don that bunny suit and start coloring some eggs so you can take the bunny's place. It's the least you can do after putting him in a "shallow grave." LOL Guess this rabbit's foot wasn't "that lucky at all." Keep 'em coming! You're a hoot! Love, Carolyn
