Down where the wisteria blossoms 
Tall pines release their pollen
Oak tassels paint the woods spring-green
And winter is most forgotten

Cars and trucks go in a flurrie
Scurrie about all day
Government work keeps funds flowing
A few don't have time for play

Where hardwood meets pine a contrast
Dark emeral green splash 
Those hardwoods vibrant green shades
A palette's ocre dash

Splash and you've got spruced it up
Where's the colorful jobs
Those that pay the dark green cold cash
Instead of wretching sobs
