I saw Peter Cottontail. I swear I did. It was he! He was in a bar last night, And he WASN'T drinking tea! Sitting next to him, I said, "Hey, ol' Pete, ol' buddy, ol' guy--- You've got time to take a break? How so? Please, tell me why." "Cut me some slack," the poor guy said. "Humans have a nasty habit Of placing incredible expectations On this weary, forlorn rabbit. "Hiding billions of eggs, come on! I'm not omnipotent, as you must know. This task has been ****** upon me Since a long time ago. "What's more, I find it rather disgusting And NOT in any manner funny When I see a kid chomping On a chocolate Easter bunny. "Furthermore, to pass on baby Rabbits as an Easter present Is NOT from MY point of view A practice I'd call very pleasant. "And as to candy resembling chicks, To me it seems so surreptitious When you're saying, 'Oh, how cute!' But really thinking, 'How delicious!' "I think it's time to pass the baton To another generous benefactor. I don't care who it is; Find a willing, starving actor. "I suggest an Easter squirrel, An Easter bear, or Easter goose. With so much on my plate there's no Time to even reproduce." I left poor Peter there at the bar As he switched to drinking brandy. I hope that he is able at least To pass out all of his eggs and candy. -by Bob B

Farewell, Peter Cottontail!
