----Like -many Cana tans I I am
R„ in a state oia suicidal depres-
sion by the middle of March.
But those good old signs of
spring catch ,me just before I
plummet into the pit, and
there 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 larks sing, but is there
anything sweeter than the first
raucous 'call of a crow? The
flowers don't exactly come
popping out but those. hardy
annuals, the picnic tables, rear
their brave heads through the
snow in the yard.
And there's c llo>r_ _every-
where. Brown mud, yellow
grass, green wine bottles on
your front lawn, tossed there
by some poor soul fighting
mid -winter madness. And the
lovely off-white of about three
tons of sand and salt thrown
onto said lawn by the snow-
plow.
But you'll hear no corn -
plaints from me: Ij fact, I feel
so good when I kickoff the old
galoshes and hang up the over-
coat forthe 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 h'oleln, my boot,
In my best rubber boot,
But I don't givea hoot
'Cause it's ,spring.
There's a smell in the air
Like an old she -wolf's lair,
. ___But;.I don•'•t-really, care
`Cause it's spring.
.LiriThere'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 I know in my blood
That it's spring.
There's romance in the air;
All the boy's have long hair,
Arid the girlsx have a flair, ''
In the spring.
