I saw the running legs-
They were in motion hunting for Easter eggs.
.
The eggs had been put out the night before-
By the Easter Bunny, not bought at the store.
.
Some were plastic and some were hard-boiled-
It was obvious, to see, that the Easter Bunny had
labored and toiled.
.
As he does every year, without fail-
Whether sunshine, thunderstorm, or a bit, of hail.
.
Before long, the Easter baskets were filled-
And, then the running legs were finally stilled.
.
I saw the running legs-
They were in motion hunting for Easter eggs.

the whole freezing night.
