There was fear at the office,
For the word had got around.
Not a chocolate or a normal egg,
In Easter town was found.
.
Some hatched a plan, a tricky trap,
It’s deviled eggs they planted.
They knew the thief would come again,
Taking sweetened eggs for granted.
.
But just one bite and he’d be done,
The eggs were hot as flame.
The thief would scream and then be caught,
He’d have none else to blame.
.
Sure enough they heard a scream that night,
And all came out in wonder.
For sitting there was Easter Bunny,
Surrounded by fiery plunder.
