Franklin Price Poet Rhyme

May May Be

May May Be
By Franklin Price

May may be the nicest month
Of all the dozen best
You may ask why would I say this
Let us put it to the test

The days of winter gone
Freakish April in the past
Flowers are still blooming
We have not seen the last

The days have balmy temperatures
The nights are sleeping cool
Hot Summer days are not yet here
The kids are still in school

I remember dancing 'round the pole
When I was in grade three
Over under round about
Was a lot of fun for me

May has many holidays
In abundance they abound
Can celebrate or commemorate
With silence or with sound

May Day's the first with dancing pole
Cinco de Mayo, Teacher's Day
Victory in Europe
Take your mother out and pay

Don't forget our soldiers
For our freedom lives they give
Memorial Day is at the end
Celebrate the lives you live

For May and all the other months
Last words I say to you
Respect yourself and others
In everything you say and do

Diane Lefebvre April 25, 2015 at 12:37 PM You are right Franklin. May, may be the nicest month. It puts the winter to bed once and for all, for April cannot always accomplish this efficiently. A very nice poem that gives me hope and I must read it aloud to the state of New Hampshire in order that it give in and say goodbye to winter! Franklin Price April 25, 2015 at 10:55 PM Diane, thanks for your comments and you're more than welcome to read it to the state of New Hampshire. The northeast can't really decide what to do about Winter. Maybe this will help.
