MAY WORDPLAY
They say April showers
make May flowers
but I say they make a cake.
Mix April showers
with May flour
and bake it.
It is May!
Mother may I
go outside to play?
Yes, Maybelle, you may!
Back in the day,
May Day
was a gay day.
young folks danced
around the maypole.
But today,
if you took a poll
even a Pole
would say his goal
On May Day
was not to play
on the Maypole
He fears it might take its toll
on his ol’
soul.
Further back in the day
of wild Massachusetts Bay,
Massasoit had power
in every Wampanaug bower.
When someone spotted the Mayflower
Massy plucked a May flower
hoping to win them over
with flower power.

MAY PLAY DAY
(^)
May day
Fun play is the hay
Warmer weather
Play in the sun day
Mayflowers
Better to stay
Maybe maybe not
I wish I may
Wish I might say
Have a fun day
And if not
Its your time to pay
For hot weather is here now to stay

May
May was the month I married
Was not long until I felt barried
Wishing on a fairy
That I did not marry
Wishing
Along Come Mary
Take him away and he not be scary
May is always special for mothers
Unless was with brother
Wondering if he finds out about another
Then, won`t have child support nor mother
For mother will disown along with others
May is a special month celebrating Mother Mary
Ones celebrate making feel marry
Beautiful crown with flowers they carry
Here is a better one I think..This wordplay not sure
Bettie `s made brain think giggle
Derby Is May
lst Saturday of May
Horses eating hay
All bet with pay
Hoping to win horray
Not having to eat hay
Just to enjoy the day
Graduations and Proms
~~
Graduations and congratulations,
Warm weather to get together
In the month of May,
Hip-hip- hooray!
~~
A time to spring into spring
With collars all nicely pressed
Bright colors all fancy dressed
For special occasions
of celebrations
Hip-hip- hooray,
In the month of May!

ON THIS MAY DAY
Mother, may I,
if you please,
go outside
and fly a kite
in the breeze.
Mother, please,
if I may,
go outside
and play today.
It looks like May
is here to stay,
blue sky and sun
shining bright today.
So if I may,
I’ll go outside
and play
in the sunshine
on this May day,
thrilled that the snow
has melted away
and that summer
is surely on its way.
