Today is the first day of spring. Let us celebrate:

Tom Lehrer – Poisoning Pigeons In The Park Lyrics

I'd like to take you now on wings of song, as it were, and try and help you forget perhaps for a while your drab, wretched lives. Here's a song all about spring-time in general, and in particular one of the many delightful pastimes the coming of spring affords us all.

Spring is here, a-suh-puh-ring is here.
Life is skittles and life is beer.
I think the loveliest time of the year is the spring.
I do, don't you? 'course you do.
But there's one thing that makes spring complete for me,
And makes ev'ry sunday a treat for me.

All the world seems in tune
On a spring afternoon,
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park.
Ev'ry sunday you'll see
My sweetheart and me,
As we poison the pigeons in the park.

When they see us coming, the birdies all try an' hide,
But they still go for peanuts when coated with cyanide.
The sun's shining bright,
Ev'rything seems all right,
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park.

We've gained notoriety,
And caused much anxiety
In the audubon society
With our games.
They call it impiety,
And lack of propriety,
And quite a variety
Of unpleasant names.
But it's not against any religion
To want to dispose of a pigeon.

So if sunday you're free,
Why don't you come with me,
And we'll poison the pigeons in the park.
And maybe we'll do
In a squirrel or two,
While we're poisoning pigeons in the park.

We'll murder them all amid laughter and merriment.
Except for the few we take home to experiment.
My pulse will be quickenin'
With each drop of strychnine
We feed to a pigeon.
It just takes a smidgin!
To poison a pigeon in the park.

Not so much where I am, the weather guessers are calling for up to a foot of snow this evening

[NorthMountain]

ROFL! That’s sort of why I posted it. Where I am right now is getting freezing rain; home is getting snow. Yay.

Meanwhile, here's a picture of Our Hero, engaged in his favorite pastime:

[NTHockey]

Tom Lehrer - the only sane Liberal. Skewers the Left, the Right and all in between.

[Buckeye McFrog]

And it just started snowing ten minutes ago.

[sarge83]

Weather critters in my area say up to four inches of snow possible. But March in Kentucky yields snow, rain, storms, sunshine, sometimes all on the same day, nothing new here.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Spring has sprung

The grass has riz

I wonder where them posies iz?

[NurdlyPeon]

The only man whose work I consider worthy of memorization.

[jmacusa]

Same here on The Jersey Shore. It's cold, there's hail coming down and a prediction of half a foot of snow for tomorrow.
