T'was the night before Christmas eve and all the mythical creatures thought it would be funny, to pull a prank on the ol' Easter Bunny.
You see,St. Nick finished early,his elves were all done.The reindeer were fed,the songs were all sung.
His telephone rang and he started to grin. I ideas started coming,now the fun can begin.
Now the idea was simple,and could be done in a flash. This very well could be the next Christmas smash.
They all had their own special part. The leprechauns,tooth fairies,Mr. Sandman and even Cupid with his cute little heart.
They all joined together on this cold winter's day. Everyone excited about this joke they would play.
All of them climbed onto Santa's sleigh, the reindeer were hooked up and ready to go. Poor Cupid shivered,he's not dressed for the snow.
With a flick of the reins they were off in the night. They knew they must be quick and get it right.
They made it to the bunny's house just as quick as can be. The plan was started with a 1,2,3!
The sandman was first on the scene. He sprinkled the bunny with a little extra sleep dust,now longer he will stay in his dream.
The rest got to work on their part of this tale. They had to be quiet or this would all fail.
Some were busy changing the calendars and resetting the clocks. Others were out removing snow from the grass and the rocks.
The leprechauns were making the grass to look green. The tooth fairies were adding flowers to go with the scene.
Now it was time to sit back and wait. Would the Easter Bunny fall for their bait?
As the bunny awoke and took a long look around. Something's not right, To the window he bound!
The snow has all melted,has he slept until spring? He has to get busy! Eggs he must bring.
He dyed and he colored all in a flash. The candy this year all of it he must pass!
House to house he crept,leaving baskets on their step.
In his haste that night he didn't notice the lights.
The trees all decorated in red and green,by the rabbit went unseen.
He delivered his eggs and was home before dawn. He sat down and let out a yawn.
This is when our pranksters let out a chuckle. Santa laughed hardest,his hands on his belt buckle.
The poor bunny wasn't sure what this was about. They all sat around and told how this played out.
Now this Christmas Eve morning,if you find bright colored eggs at your door,just know that Santa and his friends had some extra time on their hands once more.
If you are wondering why Santa would be behind such a silly prank,he must have been coerced!
Well my dear, the rest of the year is long and dull. Who do you think came up with pranking on each April first?
