    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

    Horses eating hay

    Not having to eat hay
    Just to enjoy the day

    ~~

    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.
