Triolet

How to Eat a Chocolate Easter Bunny

First, eat the chocolate bunny’s ears,
I nibble at them on Easter day,
I eat them so the rabbit won’t hear,
First, eat the chocolate bunny’s ears,
And that way I know that he won’t fear,
As I chew his body parts away,
First, eat the chocolate bunny’s ears,
I nibble at them on Easter day.
