Hello there, Mr.Bunny!
What makes you look so funny?
Excuse me if I'm giggly,
But why is your nose so wiggly?
And why are your ears
So pink and floppy,
And why, when you walk,
Are you so hoppy?
How do you get around
On such funny little legs?
But, mostly, I want to know how you
Can lay those colored eggs!

My Easter Duck and Me

Look what the bunny left me!
A little ball of fluff-
A duck as soft and downy
As a yellow powder puff!
I'm going to teach him lots of tricks:
To waddle on command,
To take a bath and learn to swim
And eat out of my hand.
On rainy days, we'll wade and splash
And pretend we're out to sea.
We're going to be the best of friends-
My Easter duck and me!

Easter Tulip

I planted a tulip,
put it in a pot,
put it in the shadow
where the sun was not,
watched it, watered it,
never once forgot.

The tulip was a slowpoke.
It wasn't to be seen.
But up popped a pale weed,
thin and yellow green,
looking like the periscope
of a submarine.

The periscope took bearings:
"Pretty nice I'd say."
Reported to the tulip:
"Hurry, don't delay."
And so the tulip hurried...
and bloomed for Easter Day.
