First Day of Spring!

Yippee, Skippy, it's the first day of Spring! This winter seemed especially long and cold, so I'm glad to see Spring arrive. After a full 24 hours of rain a couple days ago (rarely happens here), Spring has arrived with a gorgeous sunny day, a few contrails from planes visible in the blue sky, and grass that is starting to perk up and turn green. I see why people write poetry for Spring. Of course, I prefer limericks.

Ode to Spring

There once was a girl from Baton Rouge

who made a move "up north" that was huge

but then Spring came

the pretty flowers were her game

and now she no longer rides the luge.

How about this one?

Ode to Spring II

There once was a man from Kentucky

Spring rains made him feel quite ducky

he liked the green grass

oh, the bass he would amass,

but the flowers, he just had to pluck-ee.

(No, DH is not from Kentucky.)
