-"Spring is coming says a local
weather prophet, ''and soon the wild
onion will be sprouting in the valley,
and the thunder pumper singing the
praises of spring among the bull
rushes Soon the brindle heifer will
flourish her narrative in wild abandon
and in deep bass notes voice her
gladness. Soon the jocund farmer
will insert his pants in the top of his
stout boots and drive afield while the
sorrel filey is dancing for joy for the
bare earth and the beautiful sunshine.
Yes, it will soon be spring.
