April Showers Bring May Flowers*
Month April tops the chart
for showers to appear,
with rain, both day and night-
and ofttimes does present
a most unwelcomed sight.
Month April tops the chart
hydrating soil that March,
with gusty winds, dried out.
Life-giving rain restores
root energy to sprout.
Month April tops the chart
for taking a back seat
to being favored time-
to nurture flowers that
make month of May sublime.
Month April tops the chart
for keeping us indoors-
for April's working hard,
with gloomy days and rain-
to bring May to our yard.
