Australia - The Year In Review Poem by Paul Warren

It starts off slowly at the beginning of the year
When it is January and there is all for good cheer
Then February starts and for most its back to work
We are all very grumpy and feeling like a jerk
It's now March and we look to Easter bunny time
With a four day weekend it is all so sublime

It is now April and we remember the fallen from the wars
As their mates march on Anzac Day in all the applause
Cold weather is upon us as the May month does occur
And the wind blows cold and the sun shines no more
Then all of a sudden it's June and all of a sudden
The year is half over and we're shaking our heads in the muddling

So July is on the agenda and we are now on the countdown
With Christmas in July that takes out the winter frown
August is here and it will be the end of the cold now
With the odd sunny day when the sun takes a bow
And Spring is in the air and the birds are flying back
As it is September and young love is now our hack

October is here and you can feel the vibe starting now
As everyone starts to make plans for the end of the work plow
So November turns over and the end is in sight for us all
With the sun shining down and there is cheer in our call
With Christmas time now here with tinsel and parties the score
When you know December is the month that is best to explore.
