A hundred kids attacked the Easter Bunny
bloodied at the Leavenworth ice egg hunt
Little kids run over
One five year old stood tall
Some bigger kid tried to take eggs from his basket
Not advised Easter egg hunt for kids in ice and snow.
Nor putting a bunch of prizes and eggs
in the middle of a field with hundreds
of kids circling the prizes was
a disaster waiting to happen.
The kids left Mom was slipping and sliding
The Easter Bunny was in hiding'
in a hurry and ran and piled on.
It was a battle of the fittest.
A survivor my Grandson five was
interviewed by a local television station
for the nightly news. Looked tough and
nose dripping blood.
His interview was a classic
"Are you allright kid?"
Blood running down his nose but smiling,
"Check out the bigger kid, most
of the blood is his,
Tried to take eggs from my basket
He went running to Mommy crying
I have his basket
I saved if for the kid
I just wanted my own eggs not his."
Mom always took us to Church on Easter Sunday. If not a regular for
reasons I often mention Easter she did not miss. Bruised and beaten
Mom living with a abuser took us on Easter. We came in with the last
ring of the chimes and sat far in the back. I was teased at school because
no one expected Punky to be at Church.
But the best has to be dedicated to my wife's long ago past Father.
He loved pranks and most were on me. One day in our backyard
we found a wounded Mallard duck. Its wing not working to fly.
Possibly left behind by a hunter. I took it upon myself to bring Herman
back to health. The duck followed me everywhere. I was teased constantlllllly.
Maybe Herman was Melba. Herman started laying a egg a day. They were
too big to be chicken eggs. Father in law said they were much more
nutritious than chicken eggs. Easter had arrived I went out to the coup
A half dozen multicolored ultra large Easter eggs and my Father in law
laughing his head off. Not long afterwards a flight of Mallards were flying
North. I gave it a try I threw Herman in the air. He struggled a bit then
circled the house as if to say goodbye and took off to join the flock.
