The Bear said:
“Why are you so wild in spring?
Why are you mad at everything?”
The Mad March Hare gave a wild leap over to the Bear and boxed his ears, replying:
“Why do you take a winter nap,
Why do you wear a warm night-cap?”
Old Hug-Me-Tight, the Bear, hung his head for sure enough, he did sleep all winter!
At this very minute Big Brother Beaver came lopping along. He heard such a noise in the house of the Mad March Hare that he tapped politely at the door and inquired:
“As all the birds are on the wing,
Why are you mad at everything?”
