SPRING IS HERE, by                    
First Line: Winter's left us for the year
Last Line: It's nice that spring is here.
Subject(s): Flies; Spring


Winter's left us for the year,
And Spring is here to stay.
Down with whiskey, up with beer,
Let's drink our blues away.

Flies are crawling on my plate;
The skeeters sting my neck.
Old Sol beats down upon my pate
And makes me sick as heck.

Hornets swoop down from the sky,
They sting clear through my pants;
Across the street I see a guy
Going mad, from stinging ants.

Spiders bite me in the night;
The frogs keep me awake.
Tomcats scream, and yowl, and fight,
(A sleeping pill I take).

Snakes will twist around my leg;
A centipede crawls near --
But enough of this, let's drain the keg,
It's nice that Spring is here.
