How Springs are Born
It is to a twelve year old boy from Wittipitlock who for reasons you will presently understand prefers to remain nameless that we owe spring this year, For in February when all hope was lost he burrowed beneath the floor of his Igloo shaped snow fort until he found himself able to caress the green skin of Eartherself and she quivered at the touch and he too, And polymorphous Eartherself came forth this time incarnate in a great Mythical She Beast with huge hay-stack breasts and the face of the eleven year girl who lives in Kingman across the insurmountable river, And Eartherself wanted to see touch admire his private places and who was he to deny a goddess and her look caressed his young and just now budding stem into excitement and she was impressed as never before as it rose in ardent worship, And she taught him to draw forth it's happiness. A traveller passing by at that moment would have seen the snow undulating like a sheet covering lovers close to their consummation and would have heard surprised little groans. Under the sheet the happy and undiscovered lover studied with pride the sticky pollen-sap that lay now upon the belly of his beloved Eartherself and understood now how springs are born. Ah, look now at the damp April buds. Can you doubt it?
