Who Done It

What happened to poor Easter Bunny, was it murder, misfortune or fate?
What to tell the children when the treats are unforgivably late.......

It could have been the tooth fairy, accidently raining teeth as she flew by
Poor Bunny pierced by sharp teeth, extremely deadly from way up high

It could have been Cupid, letting his haphazardly arrows fly
Poor Bunny punctured by a miscalculated arrow gone awry 

It could have been Jack Frost, getting in his last frost before the end of the year
Poor Bunny frozen solid, all that is left sticking out from the snow... a lone ear

It could have been St. Patrick, preaching Christianity in Bunny's ear
Poor Bunny died of an aneurysm hearing bible stories so severe.

It could have been Jack-o-lantern with numerous carvings meant to scare
Poor Bunny had a heart attack, frightened to death, and he without healthcare.

It could have been Santa, driving reckless with mounds of gifts to deliver everywhere
Poor Bunny trampled by reindeer, that he was unable to hop any faster, is so unfair

Which story will you tell your child....why the Easter Bunny comes no more?
Will you confess, that you led your child astray with fabled stories of folklore.

They should all be hauled in immediately for questioning and held indefinitely without bail...I always wondered where that little fella got his eggs from...Mother Goose?....Don't tell me he LAID them! (that's rather perverted) Hilarious take on the subject, Cecilia and thanks for starting my day with a smile - Tim

Could have been the big bad wolf awaiting Red Riding Hood..... Easter Bunny paid the price for knowing Wolf was up to no good...... You got a winner here....... Jake

Wow! It's dangerous being a mythical children's being. Nice work. A good bit of humor along with the dark side, as all good fables have. Jack
