"An Easter egg was heard to say

Upon a lovely springtime day:"

​

"I hate all children – girls and boys –

They’re greedy and make too much noise."

"Two other Easter eggs proclaimed:"

​

"And none of them will feel ashamed

 By hunting for us – every one,"

 "And gobbling us, to them, is fun!"

‘"Those greedy kids don’t care at all

 For us, who are, to them, quite small."

​

"We hope, especially for our sake,

That all of them get tummy ache!"
