A CHICKEN NAMED FAY:AN EASTER STORY 
There once was a chicken named FAYTo whom everyone said:
"GO AWAY!"
She wasn't pretty, she wasn't smart(But she managed to get an "A" in art!)As years went by she found a friend
...A rabbit whose ears had a weird little bendThey joined together to form a pair...The odd looking chicken and misshapen hare 
She could createand
he could deliverSo they opened a shop down by the river.
She painted her eggs -- made a lovely display!But, alas, no customers came their way.An angel in heaven looked down from the sky and said,"I must help this poor chick and her guy!"
So she chatted with Santa about his short season, and proceeded to give him a very good reason to expand into spring with a new enterprise. Santa listened and thought that indeed would be wise.
Now you know the storyof a chicken named Fay and a rabbit named Jay: How they got to bring Easter to kids in their own special way!
