Easter Parade

Like rays of sun on bevel glass,
Girls, in opaline attire
Strut, in latest fashions
To set dad's hearts afire.

Mothers don new Easter hats,
With flowers piled up high,
And people watch amusedly
As throngs go passing by.

Going to church takes on new zest,
By some unknown decree,
God must have sensed a vital need
To feed man's vanity.
