May Day

The communists are coming The democrats are crying And the republicans are lying This is May Day Please don’t run away The birds are coming The deer are running And the squirrels are jumping Oh! May flowers! How beautiful How gorgeous and wonderful To be alive. Spring is here We’re happy to be here, dear Not everything is politics Let’s chase away the ticks The mosquitoes, the pesky flies And the crabs. Spring is here May and its flowers are here too Let’s enjoy the fresh morning dew The children are playing The birds are chirping And the roosters are singing.
