The Easter Bunny Craze Parade

The Easter Bunny 
Went for a walk.
Along the way, the Easter Bunny saw her honey.
And they started to talk.

The Easter Bunny 
And her honey
Began to hop.
They hopped and hopped
Meeting Jana Topping 
Who was already hopping. 
Then a woman with a mop
Said: "You look funny." So they stopped.

The Easter Bunny 
And her honey
Decided to skip.
They skipped and skipped. When a friend named Chip 
Joined them. He wanted to flip.
Jana Topping 
Kept on hopping.

The Easter Bunny
And her honey
Skipped, and Chip flipped.
They flipped and skipped
For a while, when a man named Frump
Joined them. He started to jump.
And Jana Topping
Kept right on hopping.
 
The Easter Bunny
And her honey
Continued to skip,
While Chip did a flip,
And Mr. Frump
Did a jump.
They did that for about an hour
Losing all track of time. As they skipped, flipped,
And jumped past a tower.
Jana Topping 
Was still hopping.

A boy named Howard,
He was no coward,
Joined them from behind
Walking backward
Using his mind.
Then someone yelled: "Look at the nerd,"

But he couldn't be hurt by a mere word.
At that moment, Howard felt something drop on his head.
He looked up and saw a bird.
After that he moved closer to Ted
Who was wearing red.                                 

The Easter Bunny
And her honey
Kept skipping.
While Chip continued flipping,
And Mr. Frump
Did a jump.
Howard trailed behind walking backwards.
He was now watching for birds
Next to Ted
Who was wearing red?

When all of a sudden, Chip lost a button.
He could no longer flip without losing his shorts
Revealing his last name of Sutton.
After that his flips were more out of sorts.

At that point, a girl named Shelley
Approached and saw Chips belly.
She started to laugh
Splitting the group almost in half. 

A friend of hers named Kelly asked her to stop.			  
That's when it happened, Mr. Frump's
Awkward looking jumps 
Landed him on his rump in front of a cop.
And Jana Topping
Kept right on hopping.
This time with Ted
Wearing red.

So Chip
Couldn’t flip,
Mr. Frump
Couldn’t jump,
And Howard walking backwards,
Watching out for birds,
Tripped over Mr. Frump.
He too hurt his rump.

Luckily, Howard's bump
Didn’t produce a big lump.
But no one knew what to do.
Then the cop named Sue

Noticed they were confused.
She offered to help saying: 
“That may leave you bruised.”
They explained that Chip
Couldn’t flip,

Mr. Frump 
Couldn’t jump,                                  
And Howard couldn't trail behind walking backwards
Being on the lookout for birds.

She looked puzzled.
Then looking at the Easter Bunny 
And her honey
Petting her dog that was muzzled.
Sue, the cop,
Started spinning like a top.

So Sue,
Who knew what to do,
The Easter Bunny
And her honey,				
Chip, Mr. Frump, Howard, Shelley 
And Kelly
All spun like a top.
Yelling, no one stop.
It was a cop adopt.

Jana Topping
Went right on hopping

With Ted
Wearing red. 

Eventually, they passed by the woman with the mop.
They seemed to be having so much fun. 
So she stopped and began to dance a bop
Taking down her hair, which was in a bun.

So Sue, 
Who knew what to do,
The Easter Bunny
And her honey,
Chip,
Who couldn't flip,
Mr. Frump, 
Who couldn't jump,
Howard, who couldn't trail behind walking backwards,
Being on the lookout for birds,
Shelley 
And Kelly 
All spun up this large hill.
They couldn’t remain still,
And Jana Topping
Was still hopping
With Ted
Wearing red. 

The woman with the mop danced,
And she pranced.
She was thrilled.
No water was spilled.

When they got to the top.
Someone yelled: "Drop."
So they all fell to the ground.
They were silent, and they couldn't hear a sound.

Then there was a commotion.
In unison they turned around
Seeing this large crowd of an ocean
Getting wound.

As the Easter Bunny
And her honey,
Sue, 
Who knew what to do,
Chip,
Who couldn't flip,
Mr. Frump,
Who couldn't jump,
Howard, who couldn't trail behind walking backwards,
Being on the lookout for birds,

Shelley
And Kelly,
And the woman with the mop
Waited for the crowd to stop.
Jana Topping
Got up and continued hopping
With Ted
Wearing red.
                                      
The bandleader stated: "Hi! We are new. 
Can we join you?"                                                            
So Sue, 
Who knew what to do,
Started to flip. 
Shelley began to make music with her lip. 
Kelly walked backwards
Being on the lookout for birds.

Chip, Howard, Mr. Frump, and the Easter Bunny began bopping.
Someone had balloons, and they began popping.
The woman with the mop began to use it as a third leg,
The crowd joined in using whatever they had as a peg.
The Easter Bunny's honey skipped.
Hopefully, no one would get tripped.

People were wildly swinging round.
It must have been everyone in town.
That day no one had a frown
Including every pet at the pound.

No person was muscled
And no one tussled.

Some people tumbled,
But no one rumbled.

It was entertaining,
Everyone was humbled.
Then it began raining.
Still no one stumbled.

They all had fun in different ways.
Then someone called it the Easter Bunny craze
Saying: "All the boys and men have been Gent’s.
We each have a difference,
But we all like to play. 
Let's have an Easter Bunny Craze Parade everyday."
