    The Easter Bunny is coming, little one
    It’s long ears and it’s fluffy coat

    The Easter Bunny is coming, little one
    With a basket of dreams and nightmares

    The Easter Bunny is coming for you, little one
    Its dagger eyes and its razor teeth

    When it stands, it stands taller than any child
    It’s gifts outsized by its bloodied fur

    You can’t be sure that it sees you as it approaches
    You know it sees you as it starts to twitch

    Do not pray for yourself, as that would be in vain
    Pray that your parents are not the first to see, what the Easter Bunny does to you
    Those parents never utter words again
    Pray while there is still time little one!

    It’s insatiable lust for the necro-surreal
    All because you are in the wrong place at the wrong time
    All because your parents wanted more than the world should rightly give
    All because you were left to play alone with your toys instead of in the kitchen as you normally would

    Little one, the Easter Bunny is coming for you.

    Got in a big argument with my longtime friends last year, who thought it was bad parenting to tell kids Santa Claus was real. Their “point” was how can your children ever trust you again once they know you lied to them? The fact that most people manage to cope with this didn’t enter into their reasoning. It was like arguing with Sheldon Cooper.
