What a Tale of May's Hail
What a tale of May's hail
sunshine and showers
and wind every hour,
hails like pebbles or
tennis balls telling
the tale of our prime
conversation opener;
that along as you do
not give a jot your are
on solid ground so do
not say it is fine weather
today for sure you will
offend gardeners and
please farmers or vice
versa; in the the bank or
in a shop some will not like
if you say it is warm and sunny
as they are stuck inside or say
it will be terrible weather
tomorrow when it is their day off!
Sometimes you just cannot win
so pick an innocuous topic like politics,
religion or sport then see the sparks fly
faster and sharper than any hail that could land your head!
