Calendar Poem by Christopher Tye

Calendar

January beginning the year slowly and coldly,
February still cold but hope beginning to grow,
March bringing signs of spring,
April showers dampening flowers,
May the forth be with you as May tree's flower,
June a busting out all over so it's time for strawberries and cream,
July brings summer into full bloom so smell the roses,
August giving us the beginnings of harvest time,
September when summer starts to bow out,
October ending with Halloween's hollowed-out pumpkins,
November bonfires heralding winter's arrival,
December the end is here so let's blow-out all our money on Christmas.
