<h3><SPAN name="WELCOME_TO_SPRING" id="WELCOME_TO_SPRING"></SPAN>WELCOME TO SPRING</h3>
<div class="cpoem1">
<p>Spring, you are welcome, for you are the friend of<br/>
Fathers of all little girlies and chaps.<br/>
Spring, you are welcome, for you mean the end of<br/>
Bundling them up in their cold-weather wraps.<br/>
<br/>
Breathes there a parent of masculine gender,<br/>
One whose young hopeful is seven or less,<br/>
Who never has cursed the designer and vender<br/>
Of juvenile-out-of-doors-winter-time dress?<br/>
<br/>
Leggings and overcoat, rubbers that squeeze on,<br/>
Mittens and sweater a trifle too small;<br/>
Not in the lot is one thing you can ease on,<br/>
One that's affixed with no trouble at all.<br/>
<br/>
Spring, you are welcome, thrice welcome to father;<br/>
Not for your flowers and birds, I'm afraid,<br/>
As much as your promised relief from the bother<br/>
Of bundling the kid for the daily parade.<br/></p>
