Forsooth, forsythia!
O purple crocodiles
and yellow Daffyducks!

The young red Robber

awaits the day's eye.

It reigns! It reigns!

 

Tomorrow the yellow

dandy, lying in shade,

two lips pursed for a kiss.

asks where all the squirrels

slept, and what they dreamt.

 

Blossoms' bosoms burst,

mounting mountain laurels'

magnolia magnetic majesty,

hag-wig witch hazel

aburst from branch.

A whirl and a whoosh —

the flood! The flood!
