Spring song

Spring is sprung, the grass is riz.
I wonder where the boidies* is.
They say the boid is on the wing.
Ain't that absoid?
I thought the wing was on the boid.

My Grandfather always used to say this - at least, I remember him oft repeating the first two lines.. I tried to find out who it is by - apparently it's by Anonymous. There is much internetal discussion about the correct version and possible author/s.

All that to say.. Welcome spring - in all your lush greenness and spicy scents!

*boidies=birdies
