EASTER

EASTER LILY

The Easter Lily
Blooms in the spring
The large white flower
Is beautiful thing
Its trumpet-shape
Says let spring begin

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 254

Hot cross buns!
Hot cross buns!
In January,
In January,
Hot cross buns!
If Tesco don’t have them,
Go to Morrison’s
They have many
They have many
Hot Cross Buns!

CRUCIFIX

You were the love
Of the world
And we nailed you to a cross
We tried to kill love
With nail in hand
And spear in flesh
But we failed
You pleaded for us
Apologised for us
Then you died for us
You’re the love
Of the world

EASTER CACTUS

The Easter cactus
The spring-bloomer
It’s jointed flat Segments
Look like experiments
Made by a young boy
With a construction set toy
But the coral-red flowers
Light up the spring hours

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 255

The Easter Bunny's feet
Go hop, hop, hop.
I want to eat the bunny
I can’t stop, stop, stop.
So I chase him with an axe
Going chop, chop, chop.

EASTER PARADE

In your Easter Bonnet
With all the frills upon it,
You’re never going to wear it?
In the Easter parade.

We’ll all be falling over
As your sitting in your Rover
Coz you’ll be the biggest Charlie
In the Easter parade.

VIA DOLOROSA

The path that Jesus walked
Carrying his cross with him
Was the Via Dolorosa
In the old city of Jerusalem

It was the way of sorrows
The way of grief
The way of suffering
For his life so brief

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 256

We didn't hear the Easter bunny
Hopping down the hall;
He hopped so very quietly,
He made no noise at all!
So we rigged up a trip wire
That he didn’t see at all

ON A HILL IN CALVARY

On a hill in Calvary
In a savage unenlightened time
Nailed upon a rugged cross
By brutal hand
They thought to kill a man
To snuff out his light
That light of purest love
Unquenchable, indestructible
On that hill in Calvary
He died for us
The shadow of that cross
Cast upon the bloody land
Was an illuminating shadow
That spread light and love
Shining across millennia
Unquenchable, indestructible
On that hill in Calvary
He died for us
In that savage unenlightened time
Murdered by brutal hand
Humiliated, dehumanized
But through his love for us
And his sacrifice for us
He redeemed us

EASTER BUNNY

About the Easter bunny
I think it’s really funny
That a big white rabbit
Is in the unusual habit
Of delivering Easter eggs
On his funny rabbit legs
I think it must change
And we must rearrange
So for delivering at any rate
Eggs made of chocolate
Employ a chocolate chicken
That’s what I reckon

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 257

Mr Bunny, Mr Bunny,
Won't you stop, stop, stop?
"No," said Mr Bunny,
I must hop, hop, hop.
So I shot the little bastard

EASTER LILY VINE

The Easter Lily vine
Likes to entwine
This woody Evergreen
With leaves of glossy sheen
The flowers are a showy sight
Of trumpet-shaped fragrant white

EASTER EGG HUNT

When it comes to hiding the eggs
In the garden at Easter
I can actually hide my own now
Thanks to Dementia

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 258

Bunnies are brown,
Bunnies are white,
Bunnies at Easter
Are a chocolate delight

THE SHADOW OF GOLGOTHA

Our lord beaten and bloody
Sent to die like a criminal
To add insult upon injury
Atop his tousled curls
Was set a thorny crown
Pressed into his scalp
He carried his cross
Upon his bloodied back
Through narrow streets
To the baying of the crowds
Then onto the hill of Calvary
Where the prince of peace
Was nailed to his cross of pain
And dealt the final blow
His side pierced by a spear
His earthly life ebbing away
Through the open wound
He called out to God
But not for vengeance
He asked that they be forgiven
And his cross of pain
Cast a Holy shadow
Across the world
That reached every corner
But the shadow cast
Was not one of darkness
But one of light
A divine light
The light of love
Which still shines today
For it is the eternal light of God

EASTER DAISY

The Easter daisy
A dwarf tufted stem-less herb
A rosette of woolly leaves
Its roundness is quite superb
And the large white-rayed bloom
Is the daisies Easter costume

Having taken a vow of celibacy
And denying yourself the pleasures,
Of plundering earthly treasures
Only to sit each day in confessions
Listening to others sinful discretions

The Natural World

THE SEASONS COME AND GO - SPRING

The seasons come and go
Almost monotonous I know
One after another, as planned
Like the sweep of a clock hand
Each season reminding us all
That from winter to the fall
Is yet another year slipped by
A step closer to when we die
A depressing thought I know
But let the seasons come and go
For I think it would be a crime
If their was to be no springtime

Be gentle with the earth

A depressing thought I know
But let the seasons come and go
For I think it would be a crime
If their was to be no summertime

CLOAK OF FOG

A thick winter cloak of fog
Settles deep into the valley
Making everywhere anonymous
Obscuring every lane and ally
And for those poor souls abroad
Found it was not a night to dally

THE SEASONS COME AND GO - AUTUMN

The seasons come and go
Almost monotonous I know
One after another, as planned

But let the seasons come and go
For I think it would be a crime
If their was to be no autumn time

LITTLE ROBIN REDBREAST

“Little Robin redbreast
Where can you be?
Dear little Robin
Come and say hello to me”

“I can’t “says the Robin
“The winter is preventing me”

Dear little Robin
Come and say hello to me”

“I can’t say hello to you
Because I’m frozen to this tree”

THE SEASONS COME AND GO - WINTER

The seasons come and go

But let the seasons come and go
For I think it would be a crime
If their was to be no wintertime
