This reminded me instantly of the infamous couplet celebrating spring weather and the freedom it brings:

"Hooray! Hooray! The First of May!
Outdoor ****ing starts today!"

Too funny, except that I once got in trouble for this line of thinking.

It happened when my 4th daughter was conceived I suppose. We went to church where the pastor talked about "the hottest topic on the hottest day of the year". That was Labor Day Weekend so after church the wife and I went camping...and we all know what happens when that occurs.

But the funny part was months later.

We had a incredibly warm May day for Maine, we went for a walk beside this stream that cascades into waterfalls, and had a nice picnic lunch. Well one thing followed another, but that sort of activity can trigger a prganant woman going into labor. So we had to rush to the hospital. The OBGYN heard about what we did, glowered at me and said, "relations at this stage in pregnancy is okayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy", he said very cautiously. He was NOT very happy with me. But our daughter was born very healthy, she was just a premie!!
