From the Easter bunny they are everywhere laid,

Hiding amidst, under & around every grass blade,

In trees, under rocks, & in creeks are they found,

But not just out in the open are they on the ground,

That bunny is pretty sneaky, but so am I,

I use an egg-seeking basset hound…

He’s learned not to make any noise,

No baying or barking does he employ,

He has a very sensitive sniffer,

And he does so with all he can muster of poise…

But still the bunny & I do have our yearly battle,

To scare my hound, he uses a snake like rattle,

I’ve even seen him dressed up & mooing like cattle,

He does hide his eggs all too well, some I can’t find,

So weird he is, he treats some of them like chattel…
