For the use of anyone interested. Here's my poem from last year. My kids were a chicken and duck and my MM was a bird cage filled with egg and chicken themed things.

In this recession when our wallets and “nest eggs” need some luck,
For they’re dwindling in size and could use a couple of “buck, buck, bucks”
See the “sunny-side up” of things, don’t let it ruffle your “feathers”,
Purim’s here to remind us we’re all in this together,

Forget “scrambling” around “like a chicken without a head”
Relax, we’re all “birds of a feather” join in the “eggs”itement instead,
Like years ago, Haman “hatched” a plan to destroy our entire nation,
He ended up being “beaten” and we had cause for celebration,

On this “eggs”traordinarily wonderful day, don’t be “chicken” to let loose,
There’s no need to worry or to hurry, be a “silly goose”,
Before you ”fly the coop” just one more thing we’d like to mention,
The ____ Family wishes you an “eggs”eptionally (Grade A, X-Large) freilichen Purim!

I used a nice vodka bottle that matched the bird cage, nice, plastic eggs that weren't Eastery looking with the Haribo sunny side up gummy eggs, sesame sticks and something else, and I bought Easter egg silicone molds and made egg-designed mini cakes. If I could figure out how to embed a picture here, I could show you.
