it's sprung

It's sprung, Peepers.  It's sprung!

What?  What's that, Peepers?  What's that you're babblin' on about now?

I said, it's sprung.

MOUSES!

No, I'm not sayin' it's spring.  I'm sayin', it's sprung.  You gettin' hard of hearin' in your old age, ol' peep of mine?

What am I sayin'?  The peep is as old as the hills.  It's not like old age is anythin' new.  Bwahahahahahahahaha...

My gosh I crack myself up.

MOUSES!

I am NOT not makin' sense, Peepers.  I'm sayin', it's sprung.  It has sprung.  You know, now with the weather bein' spring-like, and all.

Hmmm...

So in other words...

Spring has sprung.

So in OTHER words...

I guess I am kinda sayin' it's spring.

MOUSES!

It's spring, Peepers.  It's spring!

MOUSES!

But all that is beside the point, there, ol' peep of mine.  You're distractin' me to no end.  The point I'm tryin' to make is that the sun is shinin', the mercury is showin' double digits, and there isn't even a trace of a nasty, cold wind.  Plus, the daffies are bloomin', the primroses are startin', and the sound of lawnmowers is fillin' the air.

SPRING HAS SPRUNG 'cause the weather has caught up with the calendar, over there.

The one on the wall, Peepers.  The calendar hangin' over there on the wall.  I needed a word that would rhyme with air.

MOUSES!

But just you wait.  It won't be long now before you're complainin' about the heat.

And drought.

And all those other things peeps tend to complain about, and...

What?  What's that, Peepers?  What's that you're babblin' on about NOW?

Well look at that.  First really nice day of spring and she's complain' already.

MOUSES!

IF YOU'RE ALL HOT AND BOTHERED, PEEPERS, WHY DON'T YOU TURN DOWN THE HEAT.   AND TAKE OFF THAT STUPID OL' PARKA, WHILE YOU'RE AT IT!

Parka...  Sweater...  Whatever.

MOUSES!

My gosh, peeps can be so stupid at times.  JUST BECAUSE YESTERDAY was kinda chilly, it doesn't mean today can't be nice.  The trick is to go with the flow.  To adjust.  And, of course, to recognise that here in Nova Scotia, if you don't like the weather right now...

WAIT ABOUT FIVE MINUTES OR SO.

'Cause it'll change, to be sure.

And if you don't wanna wait, just go look out the other door.

One never knows what the front door might offer if the back one is not to your likin'.  Believe me, I know.  Been there and done that, many a time, and...

OH FOR MOUSIN' OUT LOUD, PEEPERS.  I TOLD YOU, TAKE OFF THAT COAT.  Spring has arrived and the weather is nice, and there's no need for you to be dressin' for winter.

Today.

Tomorrow could be a totally different story.

MOUSES!
