Ode to Spring

A cantankerous curmudgeon's view of seasonal transition...

They 'sing', they say, the birds in Spring,
Returned from overseas,
I disagree, they squawk and screech,
Spread avian disease.

They swoop around and nip at me,
Their guano everywhere,
I'll buy a shotgun by and by,
And blast them all, I swear!
