A Family Easter
Dog let unintentionally loose on Sunday
Was first to find the eggs
And ate five, shells and all!
Will need checking on for some days.
Dad was betrayed by a buddy
Who nonchalantly asked in Mum's presence
Why his car had been in front of The Good Angel
Two a.m.Thursday night?
Older brother was soundly berated and told
he'd had the last supper with friends
After he zigzagged home dead drunk at three a.m.
Having driven the car into a lampost.
While looking for an Easter Bunny
The toddler fell into a nearby bramble patch
Receiving a veritable crown of thorns
Which took all day to painfully remove.
Granpa managed to move a stone garden bench
Only to find a wasps' nest underneath
And was surrounded by tearful women
Trying to calm him down.
Mum found the resurrection of last year's moths
Had turned her prized cashmere jumper to fine lace.
Grandma didn't find any eggs, but
Rolled down the hill all right!
