Kiwi's 12 Days of Easter - a song to get you humming

At Look After Me Homestay, we're getting into the spirit of Easter in a very special way. Meet 'Sharon' - a typical Kiwi girl trying to book somewhere for Easter.

Here's a song to get us all humming:

Kiwi’s Easter

[To the tune of Snoopy’s Christmas]

The summer was long, temperatures soared

It was coming up Easter holiday once more

The kiwi thought back to her days in the tent

And called on herself to do it again

Was the week before Easter, dry as bone

When Kiwi went out in search of a home

For a holiday break, something ‘different’ she thought,

With cheer in her heart, carefully she sought

Easter break, it’s Easter break

Kiwis’ splore their land

Bringing peace to all the world

And good will to all

The kiwi had a campground dead in her sights

She reached for the button to book it the night

Why she didn’t book, well, we'll never know

Or was it the promise from Facebook below.

Easter break, it’s Easter break

Kiwis’ splore their land

Bringing peace to all the world

And good will to all

Now Kiwi she wanted a really good time  

Took to Net, to find something on-line

Saw a hotel, about to push ‘send’

When she heard us call out, "Happy Easter, my friend!"

So Kiwi chose ‘Homestay’ for her holiday toast

And Kiwi, our hero, saluted her host

And then with hug they were both on their way

Each knowing they'd meet on some other day.

Easter break, it’s Easter break

Kiwis’ splore their land

Bringing peace to all the world

And good will to all...
