The grass has riz,
I wonder where those boidies iz?
Sorry, I don't remember the name of the author of this poem. I heard it (and it stayed with me as a solid meme) in a Poetry class of a continuing ed course for adults at University of Delaware in the mid-1970's.
Well, the "boidies" have been with us all winter; the grass hasn't "riz" yet here in the mountains, but with the 70 degrees of yesterday, Spring has indeed sprung! See pictures of crocus and daffodils in my rock garden as proof. That temp remains with us today, so now I must leave and go outside!
