For Springs
Sunday, 16 Apr 2017, 01:04
Visible to anyone in the world
Now is the time
When all our springs need a good clean
Especially if they are rusty
Or just playing dirty, as they do.
And if they look wound up
They might need watching
In case they uncoil
From the intoxication of being oiled.
And we must take good care
They aren't forcibly compressed
As spring washers, who over and over
See Time clean and unclean her bloodied paws.
