February

The central theme of this poem is to call people to "make it be spring" and go do something instead of laying in bed all day or being unproductive. Essentially, the author is comparing cat behavior with human behavior. Cats like to lie around all day, relaxing, not giving a care about anything. They usually don't run and take their time to get from one place to another. More or less, they can be very lazy. In the poem, the speaker acts very much like a cat, staying in bed, eating, and watching hockey all day. Even though it is winter and it may be very cold, one should get out of bed and do something. They need to "get rid of death, celebrate increase, [and] make it be spring."
