The Easter Accident An Easter Poem

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 its legs Imagine the horror that I was in When I saw 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 it was way too late 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 And at least we know that a rabbit's foot Just isn't that lucky at all
