A year In Rhyme

January was cold and wet
Can`t believe it`s a new year
So much here to celebrate
Let`s start it off with a cheer

February is much the same
Though there was Valentine`s day
Mother earth is waking up
Which means spring is on its way

March is the month for Easter
Where spring should now appear
Away with the winter blues
An egg hunt is happening here

April is the month for fools
Sill pranks are all around
Puts a smile upon your face
For there`s happiness abound

May dances in with such flair
Songs and merriment too
Farm hands are working so hard
As crops begin to peep through

June then leaps in with flowers
As the garden`s in full bloom
It`s great to welcome summer
Lazy times here we assume

July can be a stressful month
Exams are now in full swing
Soon there`ll be the holidays
And beach boys will then be king

August brings hot summer days
Six weeks off from all the schools
Foreign travel to distant parts
Barbecues and swimming pools

September hails term again
It`s back to education
Though the weather is still warm
After that great vacation!

October and now autumn`s here
The nights are getting shorter
Reds, oranges and yellows
We`re into the fourth quarter

November means fire works
And Remembrance Sunday too
The trees are stripped of their leaves
And Jack Frost has skipped on through

December brings in winter
It has been an awesome year
Merry Christmas one and all
Hope the next is full of cheer!!

Happy New Year
