Spring, Gleeorious Spring

The gentle, springtime is here, the
glad birds blithely sing, and every little
yellow alley cat doth on a robin spring.
The backyard rubbish heap Il smokes,
old rubbers faint the air, and when you
light your evening pipe il tastes like
hemp and hair. The renter moves about
the town. the landlord paints his shack,
and mother turns her last years gown
and baby eats tack.
j. lovers wander meath the moon
and lie the same old lie, while forty
1even angleworms rain down from even
ing sky. Yea, happy, happy spring is
here, and house cleaning's here, too, and
soon wei quaff the gay root beer and eat
a rhubarb stew.
The warbling Of the moving van it
mingles with the hymn, Of yonder wan
and achful man who puts his garden in.
And dandelion green's are here, the
lawn is sprouting up, and soon the Ice
mans horrid leer win brim our troubles
cup.
The poets, too, are sprouting now their
tender leaves Of green, and everywhere
the editor Is waxing wan and lean.
The dogwood and the catnip tree are
yowling, mad with joy. while Willie. with
his slungshot free is sniping Wo Lung

be is far beyond our ken, but when we
need rhyme, you see, we make one up.

luscious spring has come. and nightly by
