May Day

May Day

open my book

and just take a look.

first page

the trees go from winter and are bare

to big pink and white buds

popping out everywhere

it will make you take a step back

and stare.

May day

second page

oh the grass it will turn so

nice and green 

and we all hate to get our lawn mowers 

out and start cutting the grass

you all know what I mean?

May Day

third page

casting out my first line

while trying to catch a big cat fish

with a smile from ear to ear

going fishing is the best

this time of year.

May Day

fourth page

hanging my bed quilt and sheets

out on the clothes line

clipping the clothes pin

and praying they hold this time.

Can you smell that lilac bush

spring has arrived right on time.

May Day

fifth page

and the last of my short book

digging out my flower bed

just look at the dirt on my hands

lots of flowers growing always looks

beautiful all over my land.

next up I have a garden to plan

May Day
