Easter Trip Review

I met the Easter Bunny
On an island in the sea.
He was lined up
with his buddies,
He was looking down on me.

Then I tried to find his candy,
But there wasn't any there,
And when I asked about it
He just gave a stony stare.

He didn't fill my basket.
He had no painted eggs.
He didn't hop around much
'Cause he hadn't any legs.

I don't know what the fuss is
'Bout a rabbit made of stone.
That bunny's reputation
Is a little overblown.

I never like to be the one
To leave these bad reviews,
But a trip to Easter Island…
        A one-star Easter snooze.

-B.C. Byron
The Easter Bunny was stone cold

I’ve always wanted to go to Easter Island just so I can put bunny ears on the Moai (that’s what the stone statues are called). It might be a tough climb up those things and I probably wouldn’t have much else to do afterward, but the trip would be worth it just for the prank.

From now on, I think I’ll be making all my product, business, and reviews into poems. It might stand out more and maybe would soften the blow when I give a negative review. Rhyming tends to make bad news sound less bad. Singing a negative review as a song would probably soften it even more, but most review sites only let me leave text. “The food is bad and the service stinks. Ooh la, la. Oh yeeeaahh.”
