Nickers and Ink: No Begging for Eggs

Sunday

No Begging for Eggs

So He Decided to . . .

(The Bunny Was Busted)

The Easter Bunny was craving a sweet,

While filling the baskets, desiring a treat.

He looked left and right,

With no one in sight.

And so he decided to dive in, discreet.

He reached in a basket and pawed through the lace,

Arranging the candies to leave not a trace.

While staging assault

On eggs, chocolate malt,

The Bunny was caught there with egg on his face.

This story’s a lesson, an Easter decree.

Perhaps a bit hare-brained, yet still valid plea.

When stealing the loot,

It pays to be cute.

But this busted bunny looked mostly like me.
