Calling all budding poets, please

I had already purchased Easter cards for my wee granddaughter, two grand-nieces and my wee new grand-nephew, age range 3 weeks to 8 years.

We normally treat the occasion as a family get together, with fun and games and I have no doubt that their parents will provide something similar for them. However, looking over my cards, the verses in them seem inappropriate for the current situation.

I am going to try my hand at making cards and would welcome suggestions for a short rhyme for the inside - something topical, not serious, and funny, please.

Although I'm not here
At Easter this year
For everyone to see
Just think, I beg
When you eat your egg
And save a chunk for me

Just think of adult Jesus
Nailed to the Cross
While all those who loved Him
Looked around....
Feeling at a loss.

There once was a spikey virus,
"Corona" was its name,
It attacked the lungs of the people,
Who didn't play the game.

Easter, Easter everywhere,
And not a loo roll in sight.
So people bought Easter eggs
And used the wrappers instead with might.

Easter comes but once a year
Filled with chocolate and good cheer
You can’t go out you must stay in
So just sit there and have a beer...

Little Miss Muffit
Sat on her tuffit
Eating curds and wey
it was not a spider
that sat down beside her
it was little boy blue that had the "*****"
