Not This Time

On Santa’s knee I sat with glee,

I gave no harsh critique

But that Bunny, Mama honey ~

Boy, is he a freak!

 

First of all, he’s nine feet tall,

His eyes and teeth bizarre;

His fur’s a mess, he’s strangely dressed ~

This thing is Easter’s star?

 

By no means are jelly beans

And sweet eggs filled with creme

Worth any pic, don’t care how quick,

That’s why I had to scream. 

Author's Note

The Easter Bunny in the mall freaks me out. If I were a kid, there is NO WAY I would sit on his lap...

HA! This one made me laugh so much... I actually hate those people that dress up like that, it gives me the heebie jeebies!

LOL. You're good - your poems always have unique humor in them. I can tell you're the type of person that can always diffuse a tense situation. Very comical piece that was written well.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, G! My father had a way of finding the humor in everything, a gift he passed on to me. :)

[Michael G. Smith]

Wow, that bunny does look creepy like and alien from outer space. Poor kid.

[Rita L. Sev]

I know! Mutant rabbits have no place in this holiday, if you ask me! :)

[Marie]

I do't blame you. Looked aat that way, bunnies can be scary.
