PRESENTS FOR BOYS

We have let you see this nice tree,
So go home quietly the boys may
Want all the presents but perhaps
There may be something left for you.

An Easter Prophecy

AN
EASTER
PROPHECY

When hens all join
the suffrage ranks
The Bunnies' little
Easter pranks
Will have to keep up
every day –
Or else who will the
fresh eggs lay?
