Other Victorian Easter greetings were short, creative poems. These were generally gentle humor and worked into the design of the card in beautiful calligraphy. One of them, published in 1910, quips:

And I'd like to stop for a while --
But you see I need to get my new bonnet
Before they are all out of style.
