Spring Clhestnuts

I fain would chant a song to
spring. in soul-inspiring words: but
of that theme one cannot sing and
not refer to birds. And birds are
but a false alarm when all is said
and done; II you have lived upon
a farm. you know they eat up
mon. They scratch up seeds. and
care no boot that seedstuffs cost
like sin; they spoil a lot OF price
less fruit by pecking holes therein.
1 cannot spring a vernal wheeze
that with due passion throbs, but
/ must boost the springtime breeze
that fans the thingumbobs. That
lovely breeze along the street Is
smashing things today; it's spoiled
a thousand miles OF wheat by
blowing soil away. 1t whoops and
bIithers till it's hoarse, and, while
we stand and gaze, it may attain
cyclonic force, and kill a score
OF jays. l can't t~ranscribe my
blissful dream of spring and all.
its joys. without some mention or
the stream that makes a babbling
noise. Said stream a over
flowed its banks and drowned a
thousand sheep. and farmers stand.
in mournful ranks. and rear and
swear and weep.
