I know it's a little early, but oh well.
 
THE EASTER FERRET
 
I THOUGHT I WAS DREAMING,
WHEN IT HOPPED THROUGH THE HOUSE,
BUT IT'S TAIL WAS TO SHORT,
FOR IT TO BE JUST A MOUSE.
 
I JUMPED FROM MY HAMMOCK,
AND STARTED TO GIVE CHASE,
THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN,
WE STOOD FACE TO FACE.
 
I KNEW RIGHT AWAY,
WITH HIS EARS LOOK'N SO FUNNY,
IT WAS MY BIGGEST RIVAL,
THAT DARN EASTER BUNNY.
 
JUST WHO IN THE WORLD,
DOES HE THINK HE IS,
COMING INTO MY HOUSE,
AND HIDING THINGS FROM THE KIDS.
 
THAT IS MY JOB,
I AM THE MASTER,
THE ONE WHO CAN HIDE THINGS,
AND HIDE THEM MUCH FASTER.
 
WE STOOD THERE IN SILENCE,
AS WE LOOKED EYE TO EYE,
HE THEN GRABBED AN EGG,
AND TOLD ME, BYE BYE.
 
I THOUGHT FOR A SECOND,
AND THEN GRABBED A SOCK ,
WE RACED DOWN THE HALLWAY,
BUT HE SUDDENLY STOPPED.
 
THE DOOR TO THE BEDROOM,
OH YES, IT WAS SHUT,
HE COULDN'T FIT UNDER IT.
WITH HIS BIG FLUFFY BUTT.
 
I DUCKED MY HEAD,
AND SLITHERED RIGHT THROUGH,
THERE WASN'T A THING,
THAT BUNNY COULD DO.
 
I PEAKED UNDER THE DOOR,
AND WITH A WINK OF MY EYE,
DOOK, DOOK DOOK,
(translated) I TOLD HIM BYE BYE.
 
HE THEN RAN FROM THE HOUSE,
CAUSE HE JUST COULDN'T BEAR IT,
HE KNEW HE HAD BEEN BEATEN,
BY THE EASTER FERRET.
