A bunny named William, I'm told
Declared that he was too old
To hide Easter eggs
Because of his legs
His body they just could not hold



He started when just a wee thing
Candy and treats he would bring
It made him so happy
To hear his old Pappy
When the wee bunny's praises he'd sing



The years just seemed to fly by
But William was still young and spry
He delivered all the candy
And it made him feel dandy
'Cause he'd eat much more than he'd buy



The job started taking its toll
It was harder and harder to stroll
Down street after street
How it blistered his old feet
He was getting mighty tired of his role



Then William started losing his hair
He must hand down the job to his heir
There were Chris, Mark and Jason
What a choice he was facin'
The boys said, "Oh, no, that ain't fair!"



A bunny who once was so bold
Had delivered all the eggs he could dole
He passed the job to Virginia
Said, "You got it in ya."
Now wee William's tale has been told
