While frequently attributed to Ogden Nash or ee Cummings the author of this amusing nonsense - known as "Spring In The Bronx" - is Anonymous.
========================
Spring is sprung, the grass is ris.
I wonders where the birdies is.
They say the birds is on the wing.
Ain't that absurd?
I always thought the wing was on the bird.
(Pardon the doggerel)
----------------------------------------
In Arnold Silcock's Verse and Worse, it is attributed to ANON [New York], and goes thus:
The Budding Bronx
Der spring is sprung
Der grass is riz
I wonder where dem boidies is?
Der little boids is on der wing,
Ain't dat absoid?
Der little wings is on de boid!

It basically means that spring has begun
I do like Spring! I also like poems about Spring. Here is one: Spring has sprung, the grass has riz, I wonder where the birdies iz? Some people say, the bird is on the wing, but how absurd! Everyone knows that the wing is on the bird!
The poem "Spring has sprung The grass has riz I wonder where the flowers is" is from the Pogo comic strip by Walt Kelly, but it does not appear in a specific book. It is a quote from the comic strip itself.
A catchy phrase for 'Spring' can be found in poetry or music dedicated to celebrating or describing it. As the titles of numerous poems and songs explicitly include 'Spring' or Spring-related terms, a review of an anthology of literature or music, as well as an internet search, can reveal many possibilities. "Spring is sprung, The grass is ris, I wonder where The birdies is."
The phrase is a simple poem that pokes fun at the arrival of spring and implies that the birds should have returned by now. It is a playful way to celebrate the changing of the seasons and the signs of new life and growth in nature.
Spring has newly sprungthe hills are full of grassand along comes a billy-goatsliding on his overcoastdown the summer passThis may be an Ogden Nash poem, but it is not the one requested. That one is called "The Passionate Pagan and the Dispassionate Public -- a Tragedy of the Machine Age. It starts this way, but I cannot find the remaining verses:(The Passionate Pagan):Spring is Sprung, the grass is riz.I Wonder where the boidies is?(The Dispassionate Public):Spring is what wintaAlways gozinta.... This much has been in my memory for about 60 years. I'm searching for the rest of it.Spring is sprung,the grass is riz,I wonder where the boidies is.They say the boid is on the wing.But that's absoid.The wing is on the boid.
I am almost certain it was the great and wondeful Spike Milligan...
There are many versions of this poem. Version 1: Spring is sprung. The grass is riz. I wonder where the birdie is? The bird is on the wing. Now isn't that absurd? I always thought the wing was on the bird! This poem is often attributed to ee cummings or Ogden Nash. However, it is actually by that well known poet 'Anonymous'. Version 2: Spring has newly sprung the hills are full of grass and along comes a billy-goat sliding on his overcoat down the summer pass. This version was written by Ogden Nash.
You can find the full poem "Verse and Worse-Spring has sprung grass has ris" by Arnold Silcock in libraries, poetry collections, or online databases that archive his works. It is a humorous and playful poem that celebrates the arrival of spring with its delightful wordplay.
