Rabid rabbits
Howling over
Crumpled AstroTurf
And neon eggs
That a robin would abandon
In the nest
As fake fur chicks
And plastic posers
Pallidly imitate the rites of the season.
Sugar and lard stuffed
Animal copycats
Lining bakery cases
With clenching claws and
Gnawing fangs
At every innocent
Some not so innocent patrons.
Candy coated purple sheep
Begging a little respect and a shave,
Cunning hawks, flying at full force,
Steal the edible parcels.
Someone yells, “Hey! Come back here!”
After buying into it all…
