Crucifix Customs
Poem on the Meaning of Easter
Old chap frost, relax. Bounce is in the air!
Multi-colored tulips blooming at will
Ends the hibernation of stretchy bears
Begins the time of crucifix customs
Solemn ringing tune of church bells swinging
Little girls shoes patent, cute dresses they come
Suits wear brand new boys, happy egg hunting
Hidden bunnies, popping out of their holes
Easter is here and its time they are caught
Their face upon cakes, their ears take a toll
Rejoice our King risen, or have you forgot?
Praise the savior, robe of crimson plum
Sacrificial lamb, crucifix customs
