At Halloween we had more treats <br />Than we had trick-or-treaters <br />and at least one of us <br />living in this house <br />is not much of a candy eater <br /> <br />We had some red and green <br />M&Ms left over after <br />this Christmas season <br />There is some ribbon candy <br />left here as well for that <br />very same reason <br /> <br />Those Valentine hearts <br />I wrote about <br />Pink, Yellow, Orange <br />and other assorted pastel <br />Will likely get leftover <br />past their prime as well <br /> <br />Though Spring is not <br />quite yet here <br />In the mornings we <br />Have noticed <br />A Bunny lurking near <br /> <br />He seems rather hungry <br />seeking yummies for his tummy <br />and though you may think it funny <br />we have decided leftover candy <br />when ground up might be dandy <br />to feed to that very hungry bunny <br /> <br />That way he will have <br />exactly what he needs to make <br />each colored Easter egg. <br /> <br />Do you think for a minute <br />I am the kind of person <br />who would pull your leg?<br /><br />Mary Havran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/how-easter-eggs-get-their-colors/
