Geronimo's Easter Surprise.
It was Easter Sunday morning, And excitement filled the air, "I've never been this happy," Squealed Geronimo the Bear. He raced straight down the wooden stairs, As soon as he was able, "Thank goodness you've arrived," smiled Jane, "Your breakfast's on the table!"
Our Chum was quite ecstatic, As he sat down in his seat, He laughed: "I'm sure this breakfast, Will go down like a treat. Boiled eggs are so nutritious, So I like them very much, And you've drawn a face on this one, Which is a lovely touch".
"Oh you are just a flatterer," The little girl replied, "Now the washing is all ready, So I've got to pop outside!" As she trotted down the garden path, The cheeky Bear grinned "Good, I can gobble this up quickly, Just like I said I would!"
But as he lifted up his spoon, And gently tapped the shell, A little voice wailed; "Don't hit me, It might make me unwell." How funny," thought Geronimo, "I swear I heard a sound, It must be an illusion, As there's no one else around!"
But when he tapped the shell again, The voice was plain as day, It wailed "You've made my head ache, So I wish you'd go away!" "I'm sure you wouldn't like it, If I did the same to you, But it seems you haven't noticed, That I've got feelings too!"
Our Furry friend was startled, And sat back in his seat, "Who's doing this?" he quivered, "I only want to eat." But when he looked down at his plate, He got a big surprise, The sweetest egg he'd ever seen, Was gazing in his eyes!
"I don't mean to get cross," she wailed, "But you were hurting me, "I am a kind and thoughtful soul, Whose name is Emily. It might have seemed quite jolly, To come and pull my leg, But tricks can prove so dangerous, When you're a free range egg."
"Oh no," groaned Teddy inwardly, "Whatever have I done? I'll end up paying dearly, For this little bit of fun, He started laughing nervously, "You really do exist? Oh I hope you will forgive me, As I'm slightly round the twist."
"I didn't think that teasing you, Would be a massive deal, Because it never crossed my mind, That Eggs like you were real!" "Well you were wrong," said Emily. I'm really just like you, I laugh at funny stories, And cry at sad ones too."
Geronimo felt awful, He sighed "I'd no idea, I think the best thing I can do, Is run away from here. I'm sorry that I hurt you, Because you are so sweet, But now I've gone and ruined, This special Easter treat!"
The kind egg started laughing, Until she almost shook, She smiled "It's Easter day my dear, So you are off the hook!" "It must have been an awful shock, To realise I was real, But please stop feeling guilty, As this isn't a big deal!"
Then to show he was forgiven, She danced around the plate, "Oh Emily," beamed little Bear, "You're absolutely great!" His shelly chum bowed quickly, "Well thank you," she replied, "I've got so many talents, Which I sometimes have to hide!"
The pair just went on chatting, Then Teddy cried "Oh no, I can hear the sound of footsteps, So you will have to go!" The egg looked disappointed, Then she jumped back in her cup, "We've had a lovely day," she sighed, "I'm sad our time is up!"
"I think it is a pity too," Geronimo replied, "But I'll put you in the cupboard, It's the perfect place to hide." "Oh yes," agreed kind Emily, "You really are so clever, I'll pop out when you're on your own, And we'll stay friends forever!"
"Of course," our Hero giggled, "That's all part of the plan, But we've got to get you hidden, As quickly as we can!" He took her to the cupboard, And put her on the shelf, She looked so like a normal egg, Just sat there by herself.
"Goodbye," he whispered softly, As he shut the cupboard door, I promise in a little while, I'll get you out once more." Then, just as if by magic, Friend Jane came bounding in, "So you enjoyed your breakfast then," She chuckled with a grin.
"Yes thank you!" Bear said smiling, "In fact it's fair to say, That wonderful surprise of yours, Has made my Easter day!"
THE END.
