Jolly Ol' May Poem by Ima Ryma

In England to merry up May,
Folk dancers perform, heart and soul,
And entertain in fun display
With fancy steps around a pole.
For centuries such dancers bring
Their sights and sounds in the pursuit
Of welcoming in a new Spring,
Performing a lively tribute.
'Round and 'round the May pole, folks dance,
Joy afoot, each and ev'ryone,
A time and place to share enchants,
In moving sense of having fun.

In England, May pole dancing be
A tradition to make merry.
