April

The roofs are shining from the rain.
The sparrows tritter as they fly,
And with a windy April grace
The little clouds go by.

Yet the back-yards are bare and brown
With only one unchanging tree--
I could not be so sure of Spring
Save that it sings in me.

~~ Sara Teasdale

The sky is blue, the grass is green.
Get off your ass and join the Marines.
— John Wayne.

How about humor from the past?

Remember when Beelzebubba returned to Oxford University, the scene of one of his earlier crimes? It is customary on such occasions for the returnee to be honored with a laudation in Latin. The British satirical magazine “Private Eye” published this far-more-appropriate version of that Latin laudation to Clinton at Oxford University.

Wilhelmus Jeffersonius Airplanus Clintonensis, salutamus venerabilis Universitatis Oxoniensis. Quondam Rhodus scholasticus et marijuana non-inhalensis, et ex Bello Vietnamensis non conscriptione excusatus. Subsequentis gubernator respublica Arkansensis et perpetrator criminalis sleazissimus in nomine ‘Aqua Blanca’ scandalus, cum tua uxore Hillarius Rodama Clintesterone.

Etiam legoverus multitudinus cum multae bimbones, Gennifa Flores, Paula Jones, et cetera, et cetera. Satyriasis abnormalis in modo Presidentius Kennedensis. Tua fama extendit per omne mundo pro joggendo, juvando ad saxophonum, et non much else. Esperamus quid pro quo multi richi Americani donabunt muchos dollares ad Universitatem Oxoniensis.

Omnes: Vivat, vivat Clintstone, zaba-daba-doo.

Just seems appropriate for your menagerie
