Easter Tweet

** #1753405 Not An Image **
(Though Tweety is a baby duck,
  her heart remains canary struck.)

When Tweety left her nesting base,
she journeyed to a basket place
attended by Hare Harriet
in Easter theme invariant.

Harriet, as was her habit,
played the Easter basket rabbit;
she dressed in white to capture peers
in overalls with rabbit ears.

As Tweety stopped to chat awhile,
Harriet bade a toothy smile;
then Tweety chirped while on one leg:
“I tawt I taw an Easter egg.”

In the basket, flowers flowing,
puffy cheeks, her mauve nose glowing,
Hare Harriet just eyed her tweet
and thought that she was lemon sweet.

Tweety was a webbed-foot wonder
with a soft precocious hunger;
wings on hips, though stature slight,
she was a fluff of dynamite.

So Harriet, her eyes aglow,
beside her navy-blue plaid bow,
with Easter eggs ornate in stock
bestowed one for her tweeter talk.

And joy arising from the gift,
her thankful tweets on high did drift;
still Tweety spoke this pleasant peg:
“I tawt I taw a chocolate egg.”
