Check out my poem on Verse Daily today.
It's my first time on one of the Dailies, and I want to skip through the halls singing. But I won't, because I have too much work to do.
Things are thawing here in Northeast Ohio. I came home from my late class last night to an amazingly clean house (why didn't I hire someone sooner?). This morning the remaining daffodils were alert and the hyacinths were blooming again. I need to start looking at my calendar for May. The semester is kicking into overdrive. I am going have to transition from poem annotation mode to paper grading mode, which is not my preferred state.
I took this picture walking onto campus today.

Hello, boys and girls. This is your old pal, Stinky Weaselteats.
This is a song about a whale. No! This is a song about being happy!
That's right! It's the Happy Happy Joy Joy song!
[chorus]
Happy Happy Joy Joy
Happy Happy Joy Joy
Happy Happy Joy Joy
Happy Happy Joy Joy
Happy Happy Joy Joy
Happy Happy Joy Joy
Happy Happy Joy Joy Joy!
I don't think you're happy enough! That's right! I'll teach you to
be happy! I'll teach your grandmother to suck eggs! Now, boys and girls, let's try it again!
[chorus]
If'n you aint the grandaddy of all liars! The little critters of
nature... They don't know that they're ugly!
That's very funny, a
fly marrying a bumblebee!
I told you I'd shoot! But you didn't believe me!
Why didn't you believe me?!
[chorus without last line]
Happy Happy Happy Happy
Happy Happy Happy Happy
Happy Happy Joy Joy Joy!
