Spring Is Not All
Spring is not all it is made out to be
There are swarming black flies, blood thirsty ticks
Caterpillar invade, like a movie
Finding yourself constantly, trying to flick
Of course, no one likes sweeping insect poop
Or running from bees nests in the garden
Chickens can help if you may have a coop
Smiling flowers will not let hearts harden
Mosquitos decide to follow the rest
Repellent is frequent, to say the least
The slugs and the earth worms think they're the best
But sometimes snakes emerge, like a beast
Besides all this, there is the thick mud, too
Plan for showers; you will feel good as new
