Hardly a chore indeed, but where the pleasure
assures you’ve the measure of its meaning - a
wee treasure hunt, with the prize a bevy of foil
-wrapped easter eggs hidden carefully to eyes
already adapted to the frolic, we’d certainly be
entertained; in the gathering we’re guaranteed
a success that is hedonistic gratification - if it’s
sensuous in the eating to some - then so be it
But my friend Frederick’s taste wasn’t t’ be his
motivation for the chase; - finding the beasties
took first place, then judicious wrap-unpeeling,
& hand-rendering the eggs to pulp made it an
enjoyable occasion - he leaves the chocolate
to a fate only being an easter bunny relieves
