Month of June

Oh, please give me the month of June any time!
Summer flowers, butterflies and busy bees,
Out in the garden with a glass of iced lime!

A shady oak tree blowing cool breeze sublime,
I walk around in flip flops, shorts and bare knees,
Oh, please give me the month of June anytime!

To the music of ABBA I dance and mime,
as I relish salted chips, sour bread and cheese
Out in the garden with a glass of iced lime!

January marks the end of winter time,
Then come March and April with their rainy tease, 
Oh, please give me the month of June anytime!

Long summer warm days spent in music and rhyme,
My Beatrix Potter hat sport rabbits and geese,
Out in the garden with a glass of iced lime!

June is the month where leisure is not a crime
I lock away work and throw away the keys,
Oh, please give me the month of June anytime!
Out in the garden with a glass of iced lime!

Month of the year I like most contest

Well written - I really like the idea of "I lock away work and throw away the keys," and do hope you found time to"Make it so."

Hi DWR, Thanks for reading and appreciating my work! I do switch off from work completely every 6 weeks. It is a good way to live! Do try if you can!
