Spring Has Sprung

Spring has sprung;
The grass has ris.
I wonder where
The birdie is?

There he is
In the sky.
He dropped some
Whitewash in my eye!

I am no sissy;
I won't cry.
I'm just glad
The cows can't fly!


But seriously, the bumble bee queens are emerging - if not already then very soon. This year they are a bit overdue, but judging by the nice Spring weather (at least here in Central Illinois) it won't be long now, so keep your eyes open ...

Then again, if there's any truth in Ogden Nash's poem up here, better keep them closed and listen for their humming sounds.
