I think it's only fair that the Easter Bunny gets to retire, given that his most likely fate otherwise is to be eaten by the Midsummer Fox (that's a real thing, right?). And it's Easter, better than other things known to happen to people at Easter.... :)
The Easter Bunny's retirement party "I must say," said Br'er Rabbit looking over the party -- a sprawling affair over six lawns with two marquees, a hay-buffet that stretched the full length of Phlebasty Meadow, games, a Ferris Wheel and absolutely no chocolate eggs whatsoever -- "this is very impressive. But tell me, Easter old girl, when you interviewed for your replacement... are you sure you made the right choice?" "Baba Yaga has excellent credentials and came highly recommended," said Easter, nibbling seductively (for a centuries-old rabbit) on a cabbage leaf. "Yes, yes," said Br'er Rabbit thoughtfully, "but I think her adding children's skulls to her fence is hardly the advertisement for Easter we were all hoping for."

Greg - hahahaha. Very true. Though I am not going to bother looking up the Fox thing, as I prefer to not have my beliefs crushed.
I am rather pleased you invited Br'er Rabbit to this party! Though perhaps he would have been a more suitable replacement than the one chosen...
