Analysis of Spring and Scraping Leaves
I drove the Town
With windows down.
And robins’ cries
And young girls’sighs
Would visit and just say
Let’s chill.
The coats are off
And sweaters too are doffed.
It’s time for us to romp
Those pavements dry.
Dried leaves will scrape
While squirrels plan escape
And happy clouds
Do heats across the Sky.
Remember playgrounds
Mushed and damp
Would not deter
Our tramp, tramp, tramp.
And streams would welcome
Busy hatchlings’ run.
How we had fun
Yes unleashed fun.
