year ago for our local paper It isn't
very long she sed, so 1 will reesite
it to you then she reecited;
I sat upon the messy log,
All springtime spread befOar me
The tender grooming of a frog
Away in yOnder marshy bog
Rose to the Heavens Ger me
The little calf, the little colt
Frisked in the pastures green
Spring is the finest time of year
Us mOTtals ever seen.
Pa looked kind Of sick after the
lady had rejected her poem & he sed

some Of our incest spring vegetables
Ny wife will tell you, Pa sed, that

Of the cooking sometimes & washes
the dishes always.
Pa went out in the kitchun & I
had to stay in the front of the house
lisseninE to a lot of talk about spring
flowers & little trOuts sprinEing out
Of brooks & little bunds springing to
life & all kinds Of spring stuff
pretty near went to sleep but just
then Pa came to the door and sed
dinner was ready When We went in
the dining room there was a CRATE
big dish full of boiled leeks in the
middeI of the table & a plate for each

Merci. sed all of the ladys at onct,

is leeks sed Pa the greatest vegat-
able in the world to cleer up the
blood and give one a butiful COM
plexshun.
I CESS the Sisters of Spring thot

because they all held up their nOzes
and walked out Of the dining room
