Ode to May-- The Annual Posting
For those of you who are "in the know" . . this is a just slightly toned-down version of the original poem, which was written during my mid-May breakdown, 2006. Happy May, everyone!!!Ode to May
May is busy,
May’s a mess,
May is crazy,
I'm totally stressed.
Lunches, brunches,
Mother's Day.
Choir, baseball,
Teas, ballet.
Gifts and groceries
Checks to write. . .
Washing those uniforms
Late every night.
Signing this form and
Sending in that. . .
Five dozen cookies,
In two minutes flat.
Picnics and parties,
I love them, I do.
But May is a nightmare,
(Between me and you.)
Concerts and programs,
Recitals and shows,
Why all in May?
Are April and February such horrible bad terrible months to plan anything in in this town?
I digress, and I'm sorry,
I won't miss a thing.
I love every second
Of this jam-packed school spring!
But I'm counting the days,
Until next month arrives.
Saying, "Happy June 1!"
Once again, I’ve survived!
