\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They say April showers <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

make May flowers <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

but I say they make a cake. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Mix April showers <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

with May flour <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

and bake it.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n


\n <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

It is May! <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Mother may I <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

go outside to play? <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Yes, Maybelle, you may!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font>\"<\/a> <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Back in the day, <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

May Day was a gay day. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

young folks danced around the maypole. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

But today, if you took a poll <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

even a Pole <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

would say his goal <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

On May Day <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

is not to play <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

on the Maypole <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

He fears it might take its toll <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

on his ol’ <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

soul. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n


\n <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Further back in the day<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

of wild Massachusetts Bay, <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Massasoit had power <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

in every Wampanaug bower. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

When someone spotted the Mayflower <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Massy plucked a May flower <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

hoping to win them over <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

with flower power. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
