Maypole Poem by Ima Ryma

The maypole once did represent
The joy at the coming of spring.
Children came to the pole and went
Around and 'round and 'round the thing,
Holding colored ribbons tied to.
Birds a chirping, flowers abloom,
Songs a singing - quite a to do.
But then the world turned gloom and doom,
Too pro Commie, too anti Christ,
For children to be acting so.
Young innocence could be enticed,
So the maypoling had to go.

Tiz not p.c. for maypole use.
Big gov now deems it child abuse.
