Easter poem — The Bunny and the Chick
For the Easter bunny one of her greatest joys Is hiding chocolate for girls and boys
At first sign of spring her preparations begin Making delicious chocolate – she’s in a spin!
But she does not mind this laborious task When Easter has passed, in the glory she’ll bask
It is a thrill to deliver chocolate eggs Hopping through gardens on her powerful legs
But now and again, the rabbit feels gloomy “All this hard work is going to consume me!”
“I spend all my time making everyone happy And nobody thanks me! I don’t mean to be snappy…”
“I must try to be positive and appreciate The wonderful spring and the grass I just ate.”
“I look at the beautiful cherry blossom trees And enjoy the sound of the little buzzing bees.”
“Easter Bunny life isn’t really that bad With daffodils and rainbows, who could be sad?”
So the bunny continued to do her hard work The colourful spring is enough of a perk.
Easter finally came and, oh what a thrill! When the kids find their eggs, they’ll eat their fill.
This thought makes the bunny feel very content. With all her work done, to her burrow she went.
But what the generous Easter Bunny did not know Someone had watched her from the green grass below
The Easter chick had been observing the bunny Seeing her thankless task had made him feel funny.
