Easter Bonnet

You promised me an Easter bonnet
to celebrate my first swim.
I thought I might lay you an egg,
an Easter gift to thank you
for your kind thoughts.
But this is a travesty.
A blond wig is not a bonnet.
You’ve made me look like a clown,
a Donald Trump duck
or a Boris Johnson.
I shall swim away.
There’ll be no egg for you
today.
