As I sat down in
my Chambers, a noise came from my phone
I stretched out
for the handset and held it to my ear
A voice came from
the other end, “It’s the Easter Bunny here”
Okay, I thought,
a smart arse, I’ll play your silly game
“Is that right
Mr. Bunny, do you have another name”
He said that he
was looking for somewhere to hide his eggs
“You’re a rabbit
not a chicken, I think you’d better count your legs”
The phone went
silent for a bit, old Bugs was on the hop
I could sense him
on the other end, too far in to stop
“Oh very bloody
funny”, he quipped with some annoyance
“Yes I bloody
thought so”, I returned with some flamboyance
“Would you like a
carrot”, I thought I’d tease him for a while
I had all day, my
trial was gone, I was trying not to smile
“Come on Bugs, just
do your best, how much chocky have you got”
Thank goodness no
one’s listening, I must sound like such a clot
“I’m not some cartoon character, I am the Easter Bunny”
I held my tongue
for just a second, did he know that was so funny
“I need a place
to hide the eggs, so the children must work to find”
A flash went off
inside my head, a thought flew through my mind
This furry
critter on the phone was setting up a game
He thought that I
was someone else, but I was not to blame
He was deadly
serious, but I was just having a bit of fun
I had to bring
this to an end, my enjoyment it was done
“Hey Bugs I got
some news for you, who did you intend to call”
His tone changed as the penny dropped, “Isn’t this the primary school”
I informed him of his error, but he took it in his stride
"Well I guess I'd better hop away, I've a million eggs to hide"
