easter eggs

sir reginald was a good egg

for feminine love he did beg

through the kingdom he roamed

with the help of the throne

'til he pegged her

he bowed down in awe

all the way to the floor

and curtsied and wooed her with flowers.

but good eggs don't know

that love has its woes

and off with his head

was the outcome

just a silly, whimsical painted egg i drew on and embellished with a doilie picked up from a restaurant, a lid from a spice jar for the hat, a copper bracelet for the necklace and a piece of velvet fabric i had in my stash. i turned an egg cup upside down and used it for the body. then my husband and i worked on a few lines to describe him.

isn't he a character?
