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!

It made my Easter sound very boring, Jennifer. I like the other-worldliness of it.
