Dear E.B.


Dear Easter Bunny,
                              I would like to thank you for remembering me this Easter morning. I do not like to appear unappreciative in light of such munificence ,but I cannot help but notice that the contents of my basket have certainly changed as I have metamorphosed over the years. Jelly Beans, Chocolate Bunnies and Marshmallow Chicks have given way to fat free Chocolate Bunnies, sugar free Jelly Beans and a complete absence of marshmallow in any configuration. The Dr.Scholls arch supports were very thoughtful as well as the Polident, Geritol ,Metamucil and bottle of prune juice, yet it somehow lacked the festive flavor of the occasion. I guess that you cannot turn back the clock. Your thoughtful guidance and offerings are exemplary, however I would prefer for this one day to turn away from the November of life and revel in the April of youth, an apple cheeked ruffian, pockets filled with important treasures such as a bit of twine, a colorful rock, no doubt pirates gold, a  bottle cap and the required frog.
 I hope that you enjoyed the carrots I put out for you and promise to accept my age and eat appropriately in the coming year, but would really appreciate a regulation Chocolate Bunny next year. Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,
Jim

P.S.
                   As you hop around town at this busy time of the year dispensing joy in the form of Easter Baskets, please consider my request. Thank You again for your continued generosity.
