The Egg Man Cometh

 Easter Bunny GIF by GIPHY Studios 2023

It was way back in the Seventies

In the deep sleep of the night

A bandit dreamt of chocolate swag

And calmly hatched a plan of sleight

 

Tempted by a State of shellshock

Of the chocolatey suffuse

Sneaking down to implement a crime

His Egghead plan a perfect ruse

 

Mindful of the woozy snoozers

Slumbering off their evening wine

The Eggman robbing scallywag

Took full control of plot design

 

Eggs were laid in perfect rows

Farly shared to be well-served

Thrilling fillings of sweet lavishness

In fine packaging preserved

 

Unwrapping them too obvious

Could bring on instant retribution

A better plan demanded covertness

Avoiding easy prosecution

 

Approaching egg-filled boxes

With incisions at the back

Allowing unseen access

To a monumental chocolate snack

 

Deceptively, he left the scene

Now sated and replete

Leaving any clue from frontal view

In a pristine state of neat deceit

 

Sickness now enveloped him

As he headed back to bed

Regretfully ad nauseum 

Hoping nothing would be said

 

Until the morning ceremonies

Amid the Easter Bunny chat

Brought warning chimes of choccy crimes

And a finger-pointing spat

 

Fait accompli brought the perp to book

Hands up he did confess

Nowhere to go but seek a pardon

For the mess of his transgress
