Queen of May

Joyful singing and laughing people dancing,
Celebrating around the maypole, clapping,
First of May and the Morris Men are prancing,
Partytime and the music’s so toe tapping.

Birthday girl, you are crowned with pretty flowers,
Ev’ry May is your month, come sun or showers,
Fairies gather as dusk is slowly falling,
Mayday feasting is always so enthralling.

Jack Horne for Linda-Marie’s May Magic birthday greeting
