Spring is sprung,
The grass is riz,
I wonder where
the flowers is.
Ok, this piece of doggerel is a bit lame--well, more like a lot lame--and no, I didn't write it. The honor belongs to that famous and prolific author, Anonymous. Or maybe Anonymous didn't want his/her name attached these deathless words, if "riz" is even a word.
I read it a long time ago, and the verse stuck in my mind. I remember it every spring, and whenever I think of it, I chuckle. I hope you have a good laugh, too. Happy Spring.
Thank you all,
Linda

Hi, Linda, HAPPY SPRING!
And Happy Spring to you, too, Savanna.
Linda--I guess everyone knows that little poem. I loved to say it when I was a kid....you know, it was something smart aleck, which I could be when I wanted to.
Happy Spring! Celia
Happy Spring, Linda! Are there any partic Regency springtime customs?
LOL, Celia. I know what you mean!
Lindsay, "Spring" wasn't really a day of note in the Regency, but Lady Day, March 25, was one of the four Quarter Days, which were days when rents were due and wages paid. Lady Day was also the traditional day of the start of the planting season.
