The chocolate Easter
bunny,
Sat in a plastic pack,
A pink ribbon 'round his
neck,
With a big bow tied in back.
He had a heart of peppermint,
And two gumdrop eyes that
glowed,
Whiskers of fine coconut,
And a tail of
marshmallow.
His nose made of white icing,
Just as the buttons on his
vest,
And his ears! His ears! His great, long
ears!
Solid chocolate, at its best!
What a stupendous Easter rabbit,
What an awesome
delicacy,
One lick ... one bite ... was all it took,
For
instant ecstasy.
Yet there was cause for some dilemma,
One, never quite
sure where to start,
Does one nibble first upon an ear
Or go for the peppermint heart?
But, once that decision's made,
And the process has
begun,
Look out for sticky fingers,
And for faces and
for thumbs.
A child's smile makes it all worthwhile,
Whether he
starts at the tail or the nose,
And a choc'late bunny is
only as good,
As the grin on the face it
bestows.
