Welcome to the Worth Melting For Giveaway Hop, hosted by Mama the Fox!
It should be Spring pretty much everywhere in the Northern Hemisphere by now – even Alaska! So there’s plenty of white stuff – more likely ugly gray stuff by now – melting everywhere that it hasn’t already.
In the words of the immortal Anonymous, there are two, well, at least two, verses about Spring with more than a bit of humor in them.
The spring is sprung, the grass is riz.
I wonder where the boidie is.
They say the boidie’s on the wing.
But that’s absoid. The wing is on the bird.
If that one doesn’t work for you, there’s always this one:
Spring is sprung,
Fall is fell,
Here comes Summer
and it’s hotter than
last year!
Not that both of the above verses don’t also have a sense of the absurd that also perfectly appropriate for today’s date, April 1 – better known as April Fools Day.
