Spring

Spring! That time of year when the sun

springs up directly in the east, flowers

spring from the soil and frozen

springs thaw.  Blackbirds return and sing

Spring!

Spring!   And so, my off-

spring,

spring from your bed.  I hate to

spring it to you but Daylight Savings time

sprung the clocks ahead an hour.

Spring forward!  Do not fall back into that bed of sagging

springs.  If you don’t

spring up and

spring into action, you will be late for school and your class will go to

Springfield without you.
