Bunny’s Night Out

The Easter Bunny has to sneak away

from all those chocolate eggs and plastic grass,

needs to satisfy that special appetite

for something truly soft and sweet.

 

Not easy when you are that famous rabbit

to find a place you can play

where nobody goes to bug you for candy

or ask to have you show them

your private nest.

 

So he goes as Peter Cottontail Smith

over to the enchanted peep pole bar

to kick back some happy juice

watch that act that gets him so excited.

 

Hey when you’re a creature

totally well known,

yet not a dime to your name

because you only work part of they year

at giving things away

then getting lucky is mainly fantasy

and you have to do it

at some place behind a pet shop

where only elves and fairies get to go

after all you do have a public image

that needs to be protected.
