By Peter von Mertens
The time is here! It’s quite a thing
We finally have a taste of spring.
Out come the peepers and the fox;
We have just made it passed the equinox
At this time when winter mellows
We expect to find many shades of yellows.
Forsythia, willow and daffodils are all of a hue
That bespeaks of rebirth and life anew.
But on a more sober note with subtlety alack
I fear the more crucial color this year is black
We need it to fill the holes in our roads
While we listen to the sounds of frogs and toads
With Tar and MacCadam
So please, DPW, have at ’em.
For it’s clear we have lost the battle this year
To the frost heaves and blades that snow did clear
And, on a quite different note,
Next Monday please go out and vote.
And here is a contest we all can win:
Get out and vote for Jim and for Kim!
