Red buds on gray twigs —
maples come into bloom and
pollen fills the air.
Pollen fills the air,
it makes me stupid, I don’t
feel that cold north wind.
Feel that cold north wind!
Daylight is lengthening but
earth is not yet warm.
Earth is not yet warm
enough to turn green. But trees —
red buds on gray twigs.
Eat lots of garlic
to make your nose stop running
and scare pollen off!
oh, wait, here’s another one:
Red buds on gray twigs
look like fat stuffy noses —
give them a kleenex.
nice!
