'twas the night before Easter

by me

1.

An unexpected guest arrived at my home this evening.

She asked if she could come in and inquired about my Easter preparations.

"Have you an Easter basket I might call home?" she politely asked.

"Why, yes," I said, "Right this way, please."

2.

I carried her over and plopped her right into the basket to see if it suited her fancy. She seemed impressed by my hand-decorated jar of jelly beans.

3.

She requested a photo-op with the white rabbit

and seemed satisfied with our selection of classic Easter basket candies.

4.

She was a bit sad she was too small to actually play the tambourine.

"Its lovely all the same," was her soft spoken comment.

5.

But the big chocolate bunny really blew her away.

"Ohhhhh!"

6.

Without further prompting I helped tuck her into her new rightful spot in our humble basket.

A happy yellow chick, ready for Easter Sunday.
