Early in April
Guess what I saw
A couple I felt sorry for
’cause the weather, it was raw.
Yet here they appeared
Both lady and gent
All dressed in shorts, I tell you
The chills up my spine they sent.
She was on crutches
Luckily he was not
And in those shorts they dined
Even though ‘was not hot.
I noticed as I had to
The goose bumps on their knees
Till finally I quit looking
Before I did freeze.
