Spring Is In the Air

SPRING IS IN THE AIR
And the birds are chirping
And singing their happy songs.

SPRING IS IN THE AIR
And the bees are pollinating the
Blossoms in the flowers and trees.

SPRING IS IN THE AIR
But there is another side to Spring
To which we should all be aware.

SPRING IS IN THE AIR
And we are enthralled by its beauty.
But be wise and advised of its dark side.

SPRING IS IN THE AIR
But that doesn't mean
We don't have a care.

SPRING IS IN THE AIR
And so are mosquitoes
And other undesirables.

SPRING IS IN THE AIR
And so are allergenic pollens.

SPRING IS IN THE AIR
And so are bees and wasps.

SPRING IS IN THE AIR
And hibernators are out.

SPRING IS IN THE AIR
And the snow is melting,
Causing massive landslides
And flooding the lowlands.

SPRING IS IN THE AIR
And flies, flees, and snakes
Are looking for things to eat.

SPRING IS IN THE AIR
And it's a great time of the year.
And we need not worry, fret, or fear.
But there are some things out there
That might engender a tear.
