Charlie chomped his carrot and scratched his fluffy head
There must be something really sweet that I can eat instead
But first I have to find a place to lay my head tonight
These woods are getting really dark. I’m sure I’d get a fright
I’ve hopped around this place all day. Alas! To no avail!
The only thing I’ve seen so far is a sticky strange brown trail
All my friends have disappeared. I don’t know where they’ve gone.
Ah well! I’ll lay my head down here and sleep by myself alone
As Charlie settled down to sleep he heard a bumping sound
He raised his head and fearfully he looked all around
“Help me! Help me! Do!” a voice cried from the trees
They’re really going to eat me. Oh! Do help me please!”
Charlie glanced towards the wood and saw a fearful sight
A roundish oblong figure stood shrouded by the night
As it bounced towards him Charlie thought it smelt quite sweet
And he noticed strangely it had no arms, or legs or feet
Charlie sensed no danger from this brown sweet smelling ball
His tummy it was rumbling. What was wrong with him at all?
“Who or what would want to eat you?” he queried with a frown
“The animals in the forest or the people in the town.”
“Don’t you know it’s Easter?” the egg-shaped thing replied.
My friends and I will die today. Please help me,” he cried
Now Charlie was not stupid. Now he understood.
His friends were on an egg hunt within the deep dark wood
But Charlie wouldn’t have to go so very far to find
Some chocolate to his liking. The brown and biggest kind
His ears stood up like Devil’s horns. His eyes turned fiery red!
His mouth began to water as to the egg he said
“Come closer, my delightful friend. Come share my home with me
You never know we may even find something sweet and good for tea
So bouncy little chocolate egg bounced over to his fate
Big Bunny arms reached out for him. Crack! Oh dear! Too late!
