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

silly 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
