The Smell O' Spring

 

The Smell O’ Spring.

 

The robin is a pirate bird,

     The title fits him well;

While he gets all my garden fruit

     I do not get a smell.

 

Down in my swamp skunk cabbage grows,

     More rank than I can tell;

The robin does not care for that

     So I get all the smell.
