SHELL GAME by Russ McKay

There was a spring many years ago

‘Twas around Easter time, April or so

All the birds were busy feathering their nests

While conveniently consuming all of their pests

Then Lo and Behold without any warning

Very early on a Sunday morning

Kids from everywhere came to the glen

With dozens of colored eggs laid by hen

Eggs were colored all shades of blue, tan and green

A rainbow of eggs like you’ve never seen

The birds quickly got out of the way

As the children ran about shouting at play

“Hide blue ones here…and green ones there!”

The kids hid eggs everywhere

The birds flew
