filkertomGreetings and howdy-do, gang. I've been out of town for a week, and away from the 'Net since Saturday morning, and I have to sort through the e-mail. But spring is springin' up all over the darn place. Out here in Ay-Squared, all the trees are budding nicely, some have got half-formed leaves, the lilacs are mostly out, and the next few days of rain should make the whole place just gorgeous by next Tuesday. How is it where you are?

Date: 2004-05-06 04:26 pm (UTC)We're well past the tree-blooming season down here in Tampa, FL. Highs in the mid-80's, lows in the mid-60's. A day full of rain followed by a week spent torching the humidity out of the air. But the jasmine that grows everywhere and is blooming now makes going out for an evening drive absolutely heaven - out of nowhere, hitting pockets of divine scent in the cool air while cruising around aimlessly makes life worthwhile some nights.
On second thought, I think I'll stay here! ;)

Date: 2004-05-06 08:06 pm (UTC)Over a 24 hour period, the temperature goes from 60 to 70 to 80 to 60 to 50 to about 45.
During the day, however, it is lovely and sunny. Everything with even a mild inclination towards planthood is merrily spraying pollen everywhere, our only unspayed cat has kittens, and the other seven seem to be in contest to see who can shed the most in the shortest timespan.

Invasion of the bugs
Date: 2004-05-07 10:05 am (UTC)Re: Invasion of the bugs
Date: 2004-05-07 10:33 am (UTC)We're the terror of your nation,
You're waiting while the penny drops,
'Cause roughly every generation,
We come along and eat your crops.
We're like grasshoppers, only ugly,
We're really noisy, big, and gauche,
So if you don't like stuff that's buggly,
We're up there with the cock-a-roach.
We were a plague of Egypt,
Prob'ly will be one again,
We'll eat up every cabbage leaf
And devour all your grain,
And our sound cuts through your brain -- come on!
Worse than ticks and fleas,
The Seventeen-Year Locust.
We're Acrididaes,
The Seventeen-Year Locust.
You can't push us round,
On all your food, we're focused,
We will all chow down,
The Seventeen-Year Locust.
YA YA!
The Seventeen-Year Locust.

Date: 2004-05-07 05:01 pm (UTC)I don't plan to parody all your stuff, since that would be cheesy, especially considering you have been known to do the occasional parody yourself.
But you should know that I only filk songs I like. :)
