The second month of this new
year is with us, gentle reader, re-
minding us that winter drear will
soon be a seceder. The month
itself is rather punk, with misht
brands of weather, with snow and
sleet and kindred junk, and winds
that shrek together. But let it
whoop and yawp and bawl, we
won't be greatly worried, for it's
the briefest month of all-short
horses are soon curried. And
when it goes to hit, the straw,
comes spring, with buds and roses,
when we'll no longer need to thaw
our frozen knees and noses! So
when the rude and raucous blast
in maudlin fury chills you, and
when the sleet storm, driving
past, dismays and almost kills
you, remember winters on the
wane, it is his parting furry
springs coming, mild and safe
and sane, and you should cut out
worry. Springs coming with its
birds and bees, and babbling
brooks and chiggers, and how
we'll welcome things like these.
worn out by winters rigors
Springs coming with the sounds
and scents that soothe the jaded
spirit, and l much doubt if there
are gents who won't applaud and
cheer it. WALT MASON.
