Why, April is not cruel a bit.
The sun is getting stronger,
and creatures seem to want to flit
in pairs a little longer.
What happened, Mr. Eliot,
for you to call it cruel?
I can’t see what you see in it:
I must be either blind
or some sort of illiterate
who went to the wrong school,
or idiot
or fool.
But I don’t mind.
