The Spring Is Sprung
The Spring is Sprung Rhyme by Anonymous (Not Ogden Nash)
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. -- Author Unknown
Translation of the rhyme into Standard English
Spring is here and the grass has grown.
I wonder where the bird is hiding?
They say the bird is “on the wing” (flying).
But that’s absurd. (It’s the other way around.) The wing is on the bird. CM

My favorite critter is the squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis). And my favorite squirrel poem goes something like this:
The Squirrel
AnonymousWhisky, frisky,
Hippity hop;
Up he goes
To the tree top!Whirly, twirly,
Round and round,
Down he scampers
To the ground.Furly, curly
What a tail!
Tall as a feather
Broad as a sail!Where's his supper?
In the shell,
Snappity, crackity,
Out it fell. -
