All sorts of Easter eggs
So many shapes and shades
Placed every where to catch
That gleam in little children's eyes!
Hot Cross buns in every flavour
Even chocolate ones
For the fussiest of kids!
We had hard boiled eggs in the 60's
Dyed with onion skins
As they boiled away then
Hidden in the surrounds
Where we loved to play
Red onion skins were brightest
Brown onion skins were cool
Flower petals were so pretty
As they dyed them nicely
Ready for us to play
Later on we had sugared eggs
Even creamy centres
Like egg yolks: golden yellow
Even berry flavoured pinks!
Then Easter Bilbys came along
Politically correct they said
As Bunnies were imported
From another land
The mind boggles
As advertising flares
Every where you look
You see:
Easter Bunny has been around!
