Rabbit
One rabbit, two rabbits, three rabbits, four
Three little kids each and our job is done
The sun comes out and we all run off.Three little kids, six little kids, nine little kids, twelve
One egg each and it’s Easter morn.
Momma, momma, look -- it’s the Easter bunny!This poem is an expression of my favorite Easter Bunny story. Two families, with 12 kids between them, went camping over Easter weekend in the 1950's. After the kids all went to sleep, the parents hid Easter eggs on the hill behind their campsite. In the morning, when the sun rose and the kids awoke, there was one bunny hopping across the hillside. Those 12 kids will ALL believe in the Easter Bunny!

Good Night,

Thanks, Frank!
Haha! Yes! I love the story! (and the poem too!) I can just see the incredulity of the children as they see he bunny leaving and then realize there are Easter eggs all over the place!
Those 12 children will always believe in the Easter Bunny! Glad you enjoyed the poem!
I enjoyed your poem, Janet, & the story you shared. I'm guessing that you were one of the children in the story!
No, my dad was a pediatrician, and the two families were among his patients! Glad you enjoyed the story and the poem!
I loved the notion of the Easter Bunny.
I can just imagine how excited those 12 little kids were to see one bunny hopping across the field when they woke up!
wait - doesn't everyone believe in the Easter Bunny?!!!! I love the poem and story too!
Of course, but 12 little kids actually saw the EB! They KNOW he's real!
Oh how cute. I am sure those kids believed implicitly in the Easter Bunny.
I'm sure they still believe in the Easter Bunny -- after all, they saw him when they were little! They KNOW!!! Isn't that a cute story -- the two families were all patients of my dad's!
Your poems are cute
Like I've said, school-kid attempts at poetry!
Oh! I love this poem AND the story!
What a great memory for those kids!
Hoppy HUGS!!!
PS...I still believe in the Eater Bunny!
I still believe in the Easter Bunny too -- but not like those 12 kids who saw him for themselves!
What a fun story and a wonderful poem to go with it
. peace always
It's amazing what happens when you have so many kids!
