JANUARY January Though cold, you have no law-You make us freeze Just when you please, And then you go and thaw February February I I think its very queer That on the way You lose a day, And find it in leap year. O windy March you are too Ioiu, You do make such a noise. You frisk about, Now in, now out, Its worse than girls and boys. . . Cry-baby April comes along, You never can tell whether Shes going to smile Or cry awhile, She has such funny weather. Then little May comes tripping i Uncertain as her name is A RHYME OF TiJE YEAH. We May have snow, The wind May blow, Or May be lots of daisies. O lovely June O lovely June Youre everything together, Your skies so fair, Your flowers so rare, Oh, stay, delightful weather Please find us fans, now, hot July, The Fourth is almost here Lets sit up late To celebrate You come but once a year. August youve a lovely moon, 1 wonder where you found it I Sobig and bright, For many a night, And then a ring around itf September, youd be very nice, But always, as a rule, That when our fun Seems just begun, You take us back to school. October wheres your friend, Jack Frost You always come together, With lovely leaves On all the trees, And hazy, dreamy weather THE MONTHSo November, youre almost too dull...
