Rabbit Rite

easter poem

Easter's a surprise;

an explosion of life

That ripe roaring lustre

of fashion and rife

The whole tug tomato

of lavender light

And mole fevered digging

of Hanibal right

For children now zigging

and candy gnawed wiggling

That baskets of wicker

are rabbit bowed giving

And all for a circus

that children delight

When Easter is Peter

and candy his rite

Author's Note

Rabbits are part of Easter
