Down To Earth Easter



Observing the way these 
littlies make their Easter-
Day activities infectiously 
gay anecdotes of affection 
certainly has me re-tamed; 

I’d tried t’ be gaily humorous 
with Freddy - while tickling 
Clementine’s rib cage as they 
both ate humungous, big-as-their-
heads, chocolate Easter eggs - 

but, hey wait, we’re busy, was 
their unneeded-to-be-stated 
reply - we’ll get back t’ you 
as soon as we’ve discovered 
where all the other goodies 

are likely stashed - y’ see 
we know about Gran’s manic 
predisposition to hide ‘em 
wackily in full view amongst 
th’ flower beds - so back up; 

and off they dashed: from then 
th’ whole scene was a replay 
of fabulous enthusiasm we’re 
enwrapped within - as if this 
is what being ourselves, and 

down-to-Earth, really means…
