The Easter Egg Hunt - Poem by Gerald Hanners from http://goo.gl/nPnsUt
Some people think it's funny
When the Easter Bunny
Drops a bunch of e______s
Like a hopping little Fairy.
Well, it's not a lot of fun
When you have to find every one
Of those painted
Little 'cackleberries! '
You must look to see
If there's one behind every tree
And then search every bush,
Nook and cranny.
Well, there could be a dozen or more!
More eggs than are in a store!
You could step on one!
Or even sit on one with your fanny!
You never know where they're at.
Why, they could be in your hat.
You have to find them
And put them in your b_______t.
Other kids find m_________e eggs than me.
And that makes me sad, you see.
And I stomp around all gloomy.
I might as well be in a casket!
Oh! I think I see one right now!
It's all yellow and blue and b_________n!
It's hiding there,
Waiting for me in the grass!
I've got to h_________y and run!
I'm going to get one!
I'm going to have an egg in my basket
If I can just get there fast!
OH SHUCKS! I BLEW IT!
Another kid got to it.
Just when I thought
I would get one!
I thought I had it!
I went right at it!
Wouldn't you know it!
This is no fun!
Wait! What's this I see?
Why, he's going to give it to me!
He saw that I was on my way!
I WAS ON MY WAY!
And even though he grabbed it,
He's putting it in my b_________t!
Well, what can I say, but...
HAPPY EASTER DAY!
Color the egg!
