There is a new Easter bunny.
An Easter Tale
by mermaids

|
she's pretty
silver gray floppy ears
her eyes sparkle as
she inherits the
Easter Bunny title
Petunia hops into
my livingroom
placing a basket of
chocolate peanutbutter
eggs on my giant tv
then she steals my tax return
off I chase the delicate
petite French lop
she is quick and I
become a track star in
lime green pajamas
the bills are piling up
checks are bouncing
chocolate eggs are no
exchange for my tax return
the beautiful bunny dashes
into Misty Pines Nursing Home
where ninety-nine year old Greta
screams in delight at the
arrival of this unusual rabbit
we both chase the bunny
down the hall where I
trip and fall into a
laundry basket
my butt in the air
my screams are muffled
by adult diapers
the police escort me home
chastizing me for chasing
the Easter Bunny
a warning is placed in my hand
not the Easter I expected
reaching for a chocolate
peanutbutter egg to
soothe my weary soul
I bite hard and behold
chocolate covers gold
not peanutbutter
a basketful of them
my debts will be paid
Petunia, you are a
marvelous Easter Bunny
happy holiday pretty girl
I wish you well

Author Notes
I started on a silly path this winter and obviously am still
finding humour everywhere. Hope you enjoy this different type of Easter tale.
