Okay, okay, I get it. It’s a fertile time of year. That’s why we’re eating chocolate eggs And chocolate bunny ears. And I hear there was this guy Who died and then resuscitated (A fertile thing to do, Though they say he never mated). And if you ask the new age peeps, Or academic scholars They’ll tell you that before The Walmart ever made a dollar, And even before Jesus did his resurrection trick, There was a chick in Babylon With an identical schtick--- Oh, yeah, her name was Ishtar. Does that ring a bell at all? From Ishtar into Easter. From the temple to the mall. And her descent and resurrection, her death and then rebirth Were understood to parallel the seasons of the earth So whether it’s your style to chow down Gold Brick delights Or go to church and celebrate the resurrection rites, Just nod to where it came from Give a shout out to the mother Cause it’s springtime on this planet And we do not have another. ©2014 Jeff Thompson Music
