Easter

So Easter starts with Death, I see...
Whose Death? The Easter Bunny?
No, I see him still on TV.
I know!! The Bilby? Extinct? Not Yet!!
Then Who? The Chicken? No, The Egg?
Of Course the Chocolate Egg came first,
That solves that conundrum then.....

It's all about New Life, New Starts,
Oh, that explains the Chicken, then.
But bunnies and bilbies? Oh...
Rabbits multiply, I suppose
Like 4 time 5 and 5 times 3?
But Bilbies? New Starts?
"Vulnerable", I thought, going not coming,
Alpha and Omega, perhaps, beginning and end?
The Australian Easter Oxymoron.

Perhaps it's all for Holidays,
A longer break, some time off work,
Friday even shops stay closed,
Why Good? Who knows, A restful break!
Why seafood feasts?
A luxury, the strangest fast!
We celebrate, not knowing why,
Party and indulge, why not?
Perhaps vaguely aware that someone had to die.

And one or two, who have a clue,
Explain the meaning of this time,
Yet who will listen? Noone Cares!!
We have our chocoloate have our feast...
The only cross that's relevant,
is the one on our hot buns,
And with another easter over, now,
We wait for Santa to give birth to Rudoplph....
