January
Starts with a hangover
Then endless snow and cold temps
Winter never ends
February
Black History Month
The shortest month of the year
Who came up with that?
March
In like a lion
Then drinks a lot of green beer
Leaves like a lamb
April
The blossom of spring
Renewal brings hope for year
Tax Day takes it away
May
Time to mow the yard
Watch out for the dog poop, oops
Sneakers ruined again
June
Graduation time
Eager youngsters heading out
To be crushed by life
July
Time for vacation
Wish I could romp in the surf
No oceans nearby
August
“It is not the heat”
Hell yes it is. It’s damn hot
Happy Birthday, Phil
September
School back in session
Children learning the three R’s
When not texting friends
October
Leaves turning color
Roving bands of costumed kids
Demanding sugar
November
Savor Thanksgiving feast
What do cranberries do all year
But wait for their fate
December
Happy Holidays
Another trip around the sun
Time to do it again

Raven and I totally LOL’d. She liked the subtle tragedy of July, I preferred the bleak reality of June.
