DEAR JANUARY

Dear January

You are primary

And also secondary

Cooking the tertiary

With a supplementary

To make it complimentary,

Yet we seem elementary

Because life is visionary

So as a missionary

In the disciplinary

You must not be ordinary

For our sanitary

To tell the story

Of our history

Beyond February.

DEAR FEBRUARY

Dear February

If you become monetary

Also be honorary,

If you turn purgatory

Let us go contrary

So that our literary

Would not be infantry

Rather sound commentary

Which would be mandatory

To the binary

And the summary

Would be legendary

To the effect, contributory

As onward we March.

DEAR MARCH

Dear March

We hope you match

This lantern, patch

And put up the starch

To hold the watch

So that our batch

Can warm the hatch

And not perch

Anywhere to catch

Because our thatch

Shall roof over April.

DEAR APRIL

Dear April

There is a bill

So listen and till

To hear the chill,

For you must fill

And grill

The gill

So that the will

For the pill

Shall drill

The hill

Not to kill

Come what may.

DEAR MAY

Dear May

For each day

You shall pay

And also lay

So calm our bay,

Even if we are clay,

Then you shall make hay

To quickly stay

And not slay

As you help not to stray

But find the ray

For the say

To lead the way.
