'Twas the Night Before Easter

'Twas the night before easter and all under the town,
The bunnies were all busy, bustling around
The easter eggs sat on the table just so
The bunnies could paint them all with a glow
To make them all special, pink, purple and blue
And some would have stickers and sparkles with glue
When they were dry, so pretty and gay,
"Grab the baskets" the head of the bunnies would say
Some bunnies added tissue, others the treats
Some added confetti, easter cards and more sweets
They printed out addresses, so they would know
To which gardens the bunnies were sure to go
They gathered their baskets, addresses in hand
And hopped out the door to the wonderful land
Which way should they go? Who to visit first?
The bunnies were so excited, they thought they would burst
They came to the garden and looked all around
They had to hide the eggs, so they could be found
Up in the trees, behind flowers, on a gate
Hurry bunnies, hurry! We cannot be late
And so they worked hard, they did not stop
Their feet, oh how tired, at home how'd they'd flop
But they would not quit until the very last one
Was hidden away, then home they begun
The sun came out, the bunnies at home
All the children out in the garden they'd roam
They could not wait to go out and see
Those colorful eggs that were hidden with glee
They found all those treats and brought them in
And put them all away in mommy's special tin
As they ate all the chocolate and sweets that day
Fast asleep all the bunnies quietly lay
And so the job for the bunnies was done
And what really mattered is everyone had fun.
