Customizing Easter

Easter, a pagan holiday,
Was borrowed by Christians as a time
To celebrate in their own way,
Keeping hid what was then a crime.
Pagans, big on fertility,
Used bunnies and eggs in the spring.
So some Christians, wanting to be
In the loop, came up with the thing
Of eggs laid by a bunny, then
Painting the eggs bright colors for
Giving to good Christian kids when
It was Christ's rebirth time once more.

The Easter bunny laying eggs,
A human fiction with long legs.
