SUGAR
AND SPICE
by Bill Smiley
Thank ,God , it's .. over.
We 'have just gore through
the most relentless winter I
can ;remember. Deep snow, and
deep . cold,, day: after ` day,
month after • month..', 1' don't
know about you, but , it took
mere • out. •.of me than four
years : of. World War' II did.
There's';a•squealing of, tires,
And`. the smell of grass fires;
And the' poets are liars,
But it's spring.
•
• . There.are masses of mud,
And my cellar's ; `in flood,
But r know In my blood'
• That it's spring`
There's . romance in , the '.air; ' ..
' : All the , boys have long hair,
And: the girls 'have a flair
In the. spring.
There: are gamboling lambs
And, fat Easter hams
And beautiful gams
In the spring
It's no wonder a guy,
Even an oldie like .I;'
• Gets. a look in his eye
In the spring. •
A/ remarkable. thing
That you feel like a king
When you get.in the swing
Of .. the spring.. •
And • .that: will . be quite
enough of that d'oggerel,. thank
you. But it's • ' all true, and 1.
hope the longer. days, wanner'
sun . and 'softer winds have
cheered you up: Even ':though..
that old,' cold Receiver -General
• Is lurking just •around .the cor=
tier. • '
But there are , signs: that• the
annual , two-day •.phenomenon'
known in.. ,this 'country . as
Spring, is: `almost upon, us,' and
:it is with .considerable: satisfac
tion:that I look backhand 'sneer
• at the blizzard on March 21st,
`.laughingly known as ,the First
Day of Spring, and ' .those
15 -below temperatures just
befdre Easter.' I've' .•made . it
again.•
.
Like many Canadians, I am
m a: state of suicidal, depres-
sion 'by the .middle of March.
But; those : good • old signs of
spring catch me . just before it
plummet intothe pit, ,.and
theft' I am, forced to; give it
another whirl:•
The • signs of Spring, in these
Parts are; not. quite what they
" are in some parts Of, the world:,
'but they're just :as welcome.
No darks sing; but iS there
anything' sweeter than' the first
raucous call of a' :crow? :The
G,flowers don't . exactly ' come
'lopping out but Wise, hardy
• annuals, the picnic tables, rear
• their brave ;heads . through the
snow in the yard:
And .there's color .';every-
where, Brown ' mud, yellow
grass,, green . wine bottles on
your front lawn, tossed there
by some poor soul ..'fighting•
mid -winter madness. ' Andthe
lovely off-white 'of about three
tons of sand and salt thrown
onto .;said• lawn by the. snow=
plow.• .•
Bat •you'll hear no Conn -
plaints from me. In fact, I feel
so good when I kickoff the old
galoshes and hang up the oVer.
coat for the. last, time that I'
might just burst into' song.
. Here, are the words. It: might
go to .the tune of :!'There's a.
Tear in My Eye".
There's a .hole in my boot,
' In my best rubber boot,
But I don't give a°hoot:
'Cause it's .spring;.
There's a smell in the air \
Like' an, old she•wolfts lair,
But I don't really' care:
.`,Cause it's spring.
• One can't 'help feeling that
the natives' sanity is saved • by . '
the, signs of spring, such as
they . are. Three people smiled
at me. this week, for no reason.
Today; a fellow motorist, who
.would • have driven..straight at
ane, snarling,' ar month: ago,
stopped and waved me. through.
.an .intersection, when he had •
the right of. way'
' It's not all ,roses.. There's r e a
lot of hard, hacking ahead ,to
clean \up the estate, which I
didn't quite manage last fall:
The •.Old Lady has that wild
spring decorating gleam in her
' eye. And my daughtter flunked
her phys'ic's exam, •
'But when I drive "past a ,
black, burbling trout :stream;
and long ' for . Opening Day, or
when I see the flags go up at
the golf course, I. realizethat'
there's still 'a little steam in
the old boiler ,and . that spring
has done it again.`
