~
the twelve daze of easter ( retsae fo ezad evlewt eht )
…
twelve rabbits at it
crackles in the attic
eleven morris dancers
actual bell ends
ten wrens a’nesting
in a letterbox
nine pheasants strutting
underneath the catkins
eight maids a’milfing
time is speeding up
seven tulips crooning
handel & jerusalem
six snarks a’ larking
where the air is pot pourri
five creme eggs
it’s a chocolate lottery
four orbs soar
as the scarecrows see
three badgers dance
on a moonlit lea
two hot cross buns
plus a game of noughts & crosses
& starship from atlantis
in a pickled pear tree
