They say spring is coming, that it\u2019s really here;
\nThe days growing longer are bringing good cheer.
\nAre you tired of cold and of way too much snow?
\nAre you feeling eager for winter to go?<\/p>\n
While snug in our houses, we don\u2019t really care.
\nSo come over to see us, that is, if you dare.
\nBring us banana and we\u2019ll be your friends;
\nThough we\u2019ll dance on your graves when this old world ends.*<\/p>\n
(* Not really; that would be our nasty cousins.)<\/p>\n
Take your picture with a cockroach (or two)! No extra charge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
