CaliforniaGermans wishes Happy Easter with a German Poem !

Ostern

.

Viel zu stark ist der Verkehr,
drum gibt es keine Hasen mehr.
Doch einer von den vielen Hasen
hat überlebt das Autorasen.
Der Osterhase, der hatte Glück,
er schleicht zu seinem Feld zurück.
Er kreuzt die Straße müd und matt,
ein Auto kommt, nun ist er platt.
Am Rande steht ein Hahn mit Huhn.
Der Hahn drauf sprach: „ Was ist zu tun?
Ab heute bringst du zur Osterfeier,
als Osterhuhn, die Ostereier! “
Die Kinder auf der Straße singen:
„Wer Eier legt, darf sie auch bringen!“
