May 1st but the fifth month
Can you really believe this?
Four months have gone so quickly
There must be one I have missed.
February has Marched on
With April there was no Maybe,
April is definitely behind us
Use your God-given eyes to see.
You could either continue to sit
And let the remainder flit by
Or make the most of sunny May
Since nothing beats a try.
March 4th is the only command
There is in a given year,
We all should be doing that
Especially now May is here.
In a flash, May will be gone
And there won’t be much to show,
If we are to March 4th
It is time to wake up and go.
June is on the horizon
Like a ship coming into berth,
In another thirty-one days
It will be June the 1st.
Will the lament be the same
As in the months gone by?
“Oh, how quickly time passes!”
Will that be the continual sigh?
February has followed January
While April has Marched on
May will March right up to June
And then June 1st will dawn.
We are called to be militant
And as soldiers we must March,
If February can March we can too
May the 1st says to start.
Sounds like the name of a king
May the 1st I mean,
March 4th is his command
So get up go full steam.
