WTF! Springs into action!

Hi gang,

Finally... and not a moment too soon... SPRING arrives on Tuesday
so... on Friday, March 22nd, WTF! will welcome spring in all it's many
incarnations. Bring whatever song, tune or tale that springs to mind.
Spring it on us! We love surprises!!

                    *********************************************

                    According to the OED...
          the word SPRING has many variations.
                            Among them...

1. the place of rising or issuing from the ground; the source or head
of a well, stream or river; the supply of water forming such a source.

2. the action or time of rising or springing into being or existence;
the appearing or coming on, the first sign, of day, morning, etc; the
dawn. Also, the beginning of a season.

3. a young growth on a tree, plant or root; a shoot, sprout or sucker;
a small branch, sprig or twig; the rudimentary shoot of a seed.

4. rise, beginning or birth (of something)

5. an elastic contrivance or mechanical device, usually consisting of
a strip or plate of steel (or a number of these) suitably shaped or
adjusted, which when compressed, bent, coiled or otherwise forced out
of its normal shape, possesses the property of returning to it.

6. some kind of dance; a tune upon the bagpipes or other musical
instrument; especially a quick and lively tune; a dance tune.

7. a snare or noose.

8. to change place or position by sudden and rapid movement without
contact; to move with a sudden jerk or bound; to dart or fly.

                    *********************************************

So... as you can see there are many ways to look at SPRING. It's not
all mud and slush and thawing doggy doo although... it would be wise
to put a spring in your step as you bound over what's springing up
under your feet. But should you make contact, you can always clean up
at the spring and put your feet up on your bed springs to dry.
