T'was The Night Before Easter!

The Night Before Easter

Twitter Layouts

'Twas the night before Easter. All was calm and laid back.

The spoonie, in the kitchen, snarfed down a late snack (Thanks Prednisone!).

The eggs were all dyed but still drippy and sticky...

To be honest, some even looked just a little bit icky.

There were big jelly beans, chocolate bunnies and such,

And as the spoonie stuffed her face, she sighed, "This is too much!"

The Kids were in bed watching late night TV,

While munching on popcorn and and sipping their tea!

Then a sudden commotion rang out in the night.

It shook the Spoonie's family, and really gave them a fright.

The Spoonie's hair stood on end, and her eyes grew quite big...

She whipped off the covers and it knocked off her wig.

She lunged to the window, yanked open the blinds...

What she saw was amazing; it boggled her mind:

Across the night sky, she saw something kickin',

It was a minivan drawn by eight overgrown chickens!

At the wheel sat a bunny -- cute, fuzzy and fat --

In designer blue jeans and a oversized hat.

Like a speeding space shuttle, those chickens they flew,

As the van driver called to each hen in his crew:

"Now, Lupie! Now, Sally! Now, Norman and Bo!

On Shelby, Lisa! On Waddles, on Flo!"

The van made its landing lickety-split ...

It nearly wiped out the shrubs and the barbecue pit!

Then up on the roof, much to the spoonie's surprise,

They squawked of egg prices, egg colors, and size.

They made so much noise that the Spoonie started to stammer,

"If you guys don't hush up, we'll get thrown in the slammer!"

Fuzzy hopped down the chimney, amidst all this racket,

And emerged from the fireplace, adjusting his jacket.

This bunny was chic, he had class, he had flair ..

Not your average fluffball, not your typical hare.

His ears were enormous; and his huge overbite

Was right under his nose that pink and bright!

His manner was smooth, he was hip, he was cool;

This floppy-eared bunny was no fuzzy fool.

"While I'm here," he smiled, "Everybody relaxes ...

I'm not selling storm windows, I won't audit your taxes.

I'm just here to bring you some fun and delight.

Eat, drink, and be merry! Let's party tonight!"

So they sipped diet soda and swapped silly jokes,

Those birds and their bunny just being plain folks.

Then floppy-ears said, "Hey, friends, we've had quite a ball,

But my chickens and I are now due at the mall!"

He crossed both his eyes. Then he wiggled one ear,

And he yelled to his chicken team, "We're outta here!"

As the minivan rose in the 3 a.m. sky,

He called out, "Later, Spoonie and crew, as he waved goodbye!

As he sped out of sight, his two friends heard him say,

"Happy Easter to all! Have a beautiful day!"
