A Song of the Weather

Michael Flanders


 January brings the snow
 Makes your feet and fingers glow
 
 February's ice and sleet
 Freeze the toes right off your feet
 
 Welcome March with wintry wind
 Would thou wer't not so unkind
 
 April brings the sweet spring showers
 On and on for hours and hours
 
 Farmers fear unkindly May
 Frost by night and hail by day
 
 June just rains and never stops
 Thirty days and spoils the crops
 
 In July the sun is hot
 Is it shining? No, it's not
 
 August cold, and dank, and wet
 Brings more rain than any yet
 
 Bleak September's mist and mud
 Is enough to chill the blood
 
 Then October adds a gale
 Wind and slush and rain and hail
 
 Dark November brings the fog
 Should not do it to a dog
 
 Freezing wet December then:
 Bloody January again!
