I've wasted far too much time scribbling new translations of grooks, but I won't subject you to them all...

But I'm quite pleased with this one, in a slightly different style.
Like the others, it's not so keen on -w... so if anyone's got any suggestions for improvements, please let me know!

$miracle = <<GROOK;

THE MIRACLE OF SPRING
by Piet Hein (in Grooks, 1966)
translated into Perl by osfameron (hakim\@earthling.net)

We glibly talk
  of nature's laws
but do things have
  a natural cause?

Black earth turned into
  yellow crocus
is undiluted
  hocus pocus
