OH GENTLE SPRING.

How joyfully We watch and wait
The coming days of spring;
And eagerly anticipate
The happiness they bring.
With spirited exuberance
: The early robins call
Is heard among a thousand hills
He never saw at all.
All winter long the mooley COW
Has chewed and chewed her cud;
Most gratefully she's browsing now
In half a foot of mud.
The gentle rains have long o'ertiowed
Most every brook and pond;
The daffodils and buttercups
Are always just beyond.
The jaybirds' lusty challenge
Bids defiance unto all;
The strife around the corner
Is youthful game OF ball.
The drowsy jackass comes TO life
And brays a hearty laugh.
The mooley COW looks fondly on
Her lop-eared, wobbly calf
The jealous nimrod, up at dawn
With reel and rod and bait,
Goes gaily forth TO do or die
And don't get home till late.
With weary limb and shattered hope,
Bespattered and uncouth,
With stimulants suspicious smell,
He desecrates the truth.
Three dinky bullheads on a string
Weigh scarce a pound combined,
But oh! the six he didn't bring,
Were quite another kind.
Oh, Joy! The family picnic days
Are here; it's surely great
To gambol thro' the bosky dells,
From early morn till late.
Those sumptuous banquets spread at
noon
Delight the hearts of men;
Those half dozen salad stuffs,
Ye gods! are here again.
While spiders in the mayonnaise
Delight the hungry eye;
And buggy bugs and Gravity things
Invade the cheese and pie.
The swimming fool who yells for help
Pretending he would drown,
Is here again to yell and yelp
While better ones go down.
The didn't know twas loaded" chap
Continues with zest.
The youth who rocks the boat is here
To go his level best
The joy riding auto bug
viii burn a streak thro' town;
And other stunts will help to keep
The census figures down.
In mans brief supplement to life
Oh, who would be a king?
and miss the chance to, help his wife
At cleaning house in spring.
'Tis sweet TO tug and pull and haul
At things which weigh a ton;
There seems to be no chance at all
OF ever getting done.
The portrait OF your mother.in.law
Lies shattered on the floor;
The davenport is hopelessly
Imprisoned in the door.
The Oskaloosa herald., 1912-04-11

The dust-capped housewife stops and
glares
Disgustedly at you,
And says, Go take those back lp-
stairs;
And do be careful, too"
The attic holds dusty job
" For half a dozen men;
The junk you lugged up there last fall
Must all come down again.
From sun to sun you jump and run
Nor stop to eat a bite.
This cleaning house in Spring is one
Quintessence OF delight.
When Shakespeare in his wisdom rose
To say THE plays the thing"
Twas proof wise man little knows
OF garden days in Spring.
With spading fork and sprinkling can
The willing pater goes
To cultivate his real estate,
And digs and rakes and hoes.
His aching back creaks loudly to
His nearly threadbare knees,
fence
Are swapping recipes.
The neighbors' Shanghai rooster
knows
Quite everything that's said,
AS stealthiie Che straightway goes
And wrecks the lettuce bed.
The family bulldog close behind
The neighbors' family cat
Goes whizzing past, but one don't
mind
A little thing like that.
The family housewife turns about
To give warning yell.
The household pride has toddied out
And tumbled in the well.
