Easter Bunny Island 4 Kids

Way out in the Pacific Ocean, there is an island
where
nobody lives and nothing grows.
How it got so barren, you would think everybody knows!
Alas not everybody knows its woes
Easter Bunny Island used to be happy and thriving
With lots of bunnies all laughing and crying
and hippity-hoppity-huppity-hypiting
But then came a time of big storms and then drought
and all bunnies needed homes to keep the weather out
Thunder and lightning and hurricanes were about
Soon, the bunnies wanted bigger and better homes
to store their bunny statues and treasure troves
and their chocolate carrots and strawberry cloves!
So they paid the beavers to cut down the trees
and the bunnies built big homes all day in the heat
and the forest grew smaller and rivers turned to creeks
And oh, the homes, they were so pretty and neat!
With big windows and tall ceilings and AC for the heat!
And Nintendos and Wiis and Big Screen TVs!
But the forest grew smaller and smaller each day
As the beavers went about it in that beaver-kind-of way
Cutting down everything! I mean, Everything! Oi Vey!
Until one fine summer day, when mid-day was past
A little beaver boy cut down the tree that was the last
The tree and the forest were now in the past
And things didn't go well for the Easter Bunnies then.
Oh, no, it didn't. Not for bunny women or bunny men.
Or bunny boys or bunny girls or baby bunnies in the den.
The water dried up and the sun beat down
and the power went out with a sizzling sound
And soon, crazy bunnies were running all around!
The homes turned into boats which soon sailed away
in search of a new island on a different day
And all the big bunnies ploclaimed "It'll surely be okay!!"
But there were no islands close by, that anyone could find
except the one with no trees, that was now in a bind
Those bunnies were not in a good state of mind.
And that is the story of Easter Bunny Island
Which is still a bit of a no-mans land
Will anyone listen to this story of mine?
And keep history from repeating itself one more time!
