The Easter Bunny
by M. Josephine Todd, 1909
There's a story quite funny,
About a toy bunny,
And the wonderful things she can do;
Every bright Easter morning,
Without warning,
She colors eggs, red, green, or blue.
Some she covers with spots,
Some with quaint little dots,
And some with strange mixed colors, too..
Red and green, blue and yellow,
But each unlike his fellow
Are eggs of every hue.
And it's odd, as folks say,
That on no other day
In all of the whole year through,
Does this wonderful bunny,
So busy and funny,
Color eggs of every hue.
If this story you doubt
She will soon find you out,
And what do you think she will do?
On the next Easter morning
She'll bring you without warning,
Those eggs of every hue.
Top 10 Reasons
The Easter Bunny Brings Eggs
1. Tax Write-Off
2. Who wants Easter Bricks?
3. Consider all the varieties ... scrambled, over
easy, hard boiled, poached
4. He gets a good deal from the
local chickens
5. Secret plan to eliminate the human race by
cholesterol overdose
6. Pressure from the Egg Marketing Board
7. Because if he brought bottle rockets he
would be the Independence Bunny
8. Would you want to hunt for waffles? *waffle, waffle*
9. He thinks guys should get chicks at
least once a year
10. Because the Energizer Bunny
got the Good Job!
Let us also not forget the true meaning of Easter
It is not chocolate bunnies,
It is not egg hunts,
It is not cute rabbits.
It is The Resurrection of Christ
He is Risen!
For God so loved the world, that He
gave His only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
-John 3:16
Jesus said unto her
I am the resurrection, and the life;
he that believeth in me, though he were dead,
yet shall he live;
And whosoever liveth and believeth in me
shall never die. Believest thou this?"
-John 11:25-26
