Sweet Easter Dreams

Once upon a time

Peter Cottontail had a blue lagoon colored basket

full of plastic grass, decorated eggs,

chocolate bunnies, a candy carrot,

Reese's peanut butter cups and ring pops

to deliver to his Princess Tasha.

He hopped through yards 

of jelly bean delights with

skittles falling from the Hershey chocolate sky

while his friend, Granny, helped

make skittle ice cream in a jelly bean cup

and put a cherry on top with a tinge of whipped cream.

Hopping down the Bunny Trail,

Granny and Peter Cottontail went to

see Piglet, Christopher Robin, Eeyore, Winnie the Pooh, Rabbit, Mr. Owl, and the Gopher.

Granny went through the Chocolate Strawberry Forest

where vanilla and dark chocolate strawberries gingerly fell

into Rabbit's candy carrot basket and when she arrived,

she set his present in his beautiful vegetable garden

with a card sealed with a chocolate kiss sticker

and snuck into his kitchen to put his ice cream

into his freezer.

Peter Cottontail hopped through Cotton Candy Avenue

to put a small raspberry red woven basket at Piglet's door

with a card attached to it, "wishing you you a happy-hippity-hop Easter"

for when Piglet would look in she'd see a dancing toy M&M to play with 

until their batteries died and she decided to eat her goodies. 

Christopher Robin was taking a walk in the woods with Eeyore, and Mr. Owl

collecting daisies, daffodils, and roses for his Mom's Easter Day present

while Granny left their baskets on a blanket for them to eat, enjoy, and have 

a competition to see how many licks it'd take to the get the center of a Ring Pop without cheating.

Granny and Peter Cottontail had to work as a team

to deliver Winnie the Pooh's gifts for his were extra heavy

and they borrowed Christopher Robin's little red wagon

to pull 5 overflowing pots of honey to his kitchen

and left his pots on his oak wood table where they

had painted Winnie the Pooh in Easter Colors.

The Gopher and Eeyore got their baskets set on the blanket

after Peter Cottontail went through The Hundred Acre Woods 

and their twig brown baskets were stuffed with

rainbow decorated eggs, blue raspberry, watermelon, and strawberry ring pops, Reese's peanut butter cups,

miniature milk chocolate bunnies, and Jolly Rancher jelly beans

to enjoy their Easter-Friend-Picnic party.

Peter Cottontail and Granny hopped down a trail

of Easter grass with tulip petals leading the way

to Princess Tasha's castle where they gave her a special tierra

made from cherry Twizzlers to wear atop her Golden Graham hair

and a basket shaped like a crown

where they had it overflowing with

dark chocolate bunnies, Reese's peanut butter cups, 

Barbie designed Easter eggs, skittles, and a friendship charm bracelet.

When Peter Cottontail and Granny were done,

they went back to Easter Land where their

Gummi bear friends were waiting

with a surprise party, which made their eyes fill with sparkling cider love,

friendship was flying like the American Flag, and the value of true friendship

sang their sweetest Easter Dreams.
