Which came first the pun or the cozy/cosy question

The question. The pun occurred to me as I read CapK's post aloud, and got thinking, "hmm, 'cozy", 'tea' what can I do with this." The sooner our resident punmeister is back to full form, the better.

Dear Max: I'm glad to hear that the pun came second, which is more of a tribute to your talent, and was not a product of deviousness. Although deviousness can be admirable in this forum.

Spring has sprung,
the grass has riz,
I wonder where the flowers is?


Variant version that I have long enjoyed:

'Da spring is sprung
Da grass is riz
I wonder where
Da boidies is?'

'Da boids is on the wing.'
'But that's absoid!
I always thought
Da wing was on da boid!'

A long time ago some friends persuaded Jimmy ("Schnozzle") Durante to go with them to a health resort in upstate New York. They got him out of bed at daybreak to go walking. As they went along, they noticed that Durante had picked up a big stick and was banging every tree he went past. When they asked him why he was doing that, he answered: "When Durante's awake, no boid sleeps!"
