One More Time

I can't believe.  I don't believe.

I simply, simply won't believe

A rabbit comes at Easter time

To bring us eggs--

 

But then,

 

I do believe that you believe,

And there are others who believe,

And so perhaps for one more time,

I'll make believe again.

~Margaret Hilert

 

 

 

An Easter Puzzle

 

This morning, what do you suppose

I found beside my door?

A nest of colored Easter eggs--

Five or six or more.

 

I asked my own pet bunny,

Who seems to love me so,

To tell me where they came from;

I thought perhaps he'd know.

 

Yet not a single word he said,

Though twice he blinked his eyes;

But I believe he really knows

Because he looked so wise.

THE EASTER FEELING...

The Easter feeling does not end.
It signals a new beginning,
Of nature, spring, and brand new life,
And friendship, peace, and giving.
The spirit of Easter is all about
Hope, love, and joyful living.

Chocolate Rabbit

I got a chocolate rabbit
For an Easter treat,
A great big chocolate rabbit,
Good enough to eat.
So I ate his ears on Sunday,
his nose I finished Monday,
Tuesday I nibbled on his feet.
I ate his tail on Wednesday,
Thursday I kept on,
By Friday he was going,
Saturday he was gone.
Oh, I loved that chocolate rabbit,
From the moment that he came,
And if I get another one,
I'll love him just the same.

 

 

I'm a Little Bunny
(I'm a Little Teapot)

I'm a little bunny -- furry and brown
I like to hop around the town
Early Easter morning, you will see
Some colored eggs for you from me !

 

 

Easter Bunny Hop
(Shortnin' Bread)

Look over here and look over there
Little candy Easter eggs are every where
Who's the one who hides them there?
Little Easter bunny hides them everywhere
Little Easter bunny goes hopping, hopping
Little Easter bunny foes hop, hop, hop
Little Easter bunny goes hopping, hopping
Little Easter bunny goes hop, hop, hop!

 


 

Easter Bunny Song
(I've been working on the railroad)

Have you seen the Easter Bunny
Working hard all day?
He is making Ester candy
Easter's on its way!
He is filling Easter baskets,
Jelly beans and chocolate bunnies too!
He'll be hopping to your house soon
Bringing treats to you.

Easter time is near.
Easter's almost here.
Easter Bunny comes each year.
Easter time is near.
Easter's almost here.
Easter Bunny comes each year.
Easter Bunny's coming to my house.
Easter Bunny's coming, I know!
Easter Bunny's coming to my house,
Bringing goodies I love so.

He's bringing:
Chocolate, chocolate candy eggs
It's my favorite treat!
Chocolate, Chocolate candy eggs
Most delicious sweet to eat!
He's bringing:
Chocolate, chocolate candy eggs
It's my favorite treat!
Chocolate, chocolate candy eggs
Most delicious sweet to eat!

 

 

 

Bunny Pokey

 You put your bunny ears in,
You put your bunny ears out,
You put your bunny ears in,
And you shake them all about.
You do the Bunny-Pokey,
And you hop yourself around-
That's what it's all about!

You put your bunny nose in,
You put your bunny nose out,
You put your bunny nose in,
And you shake them all about.
You do the Bunny-Pokey,
And you hop yourself around-
That's what it's all about!

You put your bunny tail in,
You put your bunny tail out,
You put your bunny tail in,
And you shake them all about.
You do the Bunny-Pokey,
And you hop yourself around-
That's what it's all about!
