Happy Shakespearean Easter

I wish you all a very happy Easter!!! Hope you are enjoying your chocolate and whatever else nice things you got, I know I am. Actually I enjoyed my chocolate too much where now I am suffering from a minor belly ache, and the worst part about it is I still want more chocolate anyway :) Oh the joys of Easter!

In honor of the occasion, here is an attempt at a sonnet, not quite like Shakespeare's, but never the less a sonnet of sorts:

Easter Sunday Sonnet

Today is no ordinary Sunday–

It is Easter which comes just once a year.

I will tell you why, if you gather near,

This day is so special in ev'ry way.

On Friday, God sent His Son to obey,

To die for us, because we are so dear,

To pay our price, Christ shed many a tear,

And for three days in the tomb He did stay.

But on the third day, the vic'try was won,

And Christ was raised up from His resting place,

Our sins were forgiv'n through God's only Son,

So that one day we might see His bright face.

Let us not forget through the eggs and fun–

Today we were bought from death by God's grace.

Did you know that Burger King is selling a left handed Whopper made especially that the contents fall out the right side instead of the left? This happened the same day, but a different year then when Taco Bell bought the Liberty Bell to help get America out of debt, renaming it the Taco Liberty Bell. When asking Mike McCurry, the White House Press secretary, about it, he just responded that they also sold the Lincoln Memorial and it is now called the Lincoln Mercury Memorial. Maybe you didn't hear that, but you must of heard about the Big Ben going digital? Or at least the finding of a mummified fairy? Why not check out the advertisement for the new diet tap water that was aired on GMTV. Also, while you are at it, you should check out the very first Apple Computer. All these events have one thing in common, they took place on April first, yes that is right, they were all April Fools Jokes!!! Though the origin of this day is unknown for sure, the tradition has been carried out faithfully for many years. One such April Fools day prank was aired in 2008 with a special announcement from BBC about a "new" discovery...
