The Shopping Mall Cancels the Easter Bunny

“…cancels Easter Bunny photos amid coronavirus concerns”

From this Lenten season there will not be
A fading photo of a screaming child
Desperate to escape the boozy embrace
Of the shopping mall Easter Bunny (belch)

This low-Prole rite of passage is ended
But not by any parental common sense
About forcing a frightened girl or boy
To pose upon the lap of some strange man

In grubby polyester pretending that he
Is an oryctolagus cuniculus, you see!
