Tired of hard-boiled eggs
colored, put in pails?
Our Easters feature
a unique creature
who isn’t white,
whose ears don’t flop,
he wears no bonnet
nor does he hop!
Lavender grape ape
is here … as of late …
hanging bananas
from trees, cabanas.

Tired of hard-boiled eggs
colored, on the ground?
When peeled, some ooze,
some are too hard,
many are smashed
by kids in yards.
The ape’s bananas
and fruit filled baskets
are a welcome change
from candy, bonnets.

Tired of hard-boiled eggs
and things of plastic?
Little ones smile
at the tame ape.
Colorful peals
leave them agape.
His banana trees
come in all sizes,
is a spring delight.
Rare, he advises

those tired of eggs
to put fruit in their loom!
