Abounds on the Starship Titanic forum. The clientele seem to be pretty highly represented by the hearts and flowers brigade. This is all very saccharine, if well-meaning. In response to lyrical doggerel about spring, I posted a bit of doggerel of my own.


So, hello then spring
Apparently you're here
But we couldn't tell
What with the cold and the rain

I wonder if
You expect me to remove any layers
Not bloody likely
You're going to have to try harder

Still, I suppose
The floodwater is pretty high
That's a sure sign of spring
And the spate of new viruses

New lambs too
Just ready for the foot and mouth
Sweetly piled
Upon their dead mothers

Oh and the birds
They're pretty active
Those that aren't
90% down in numbers

You bet it's spring
Mother's day flowers
Because let's not forget
The saps also rise.
