The Mascot of Gregorian Spring
All children gather,
'pon Eostre
...and it's Gregorian majesty incarnate
to view the remnants of the mighty hare.
To view the symbol of the modern spring;
...(and it's victorious savior).
A savior, whose torn scraps
still linger 'pon the tractor's wheel
...and the "dozers come to take his home.
The children see their spring become a graveyard
...and the majesty of spring, shattered;
an innocence revoked,
and yet more land unjustly taken;
...from the mascot of Gregorian spring.
