                The January days are short and cold     

                But "Spring is coming" we are told.        

                 

                February brings us wind and snow -

                But early flowers start to show.

                 

                March has winds that grow and strengthen,

                Birds build nests and each day lengthens.

                 

                April showers are short but heavy -

                Flowers come out in every crevie.    

                 

                The garden's full of flowers in May

                And the sun, it seems, is here to stay.

                 

                The days are really long in June -

                There's so much sun, but little moon.

                 

                The school year ends and it's "Bye Bye" -   

                Our holidays start in sweet July.

                 

                August brings the sun and sea -            

                A lovely month for you and me.

                 

                The school year starts in each September -    

                What on earth will I remember?

                 

                October's here, the world is gold -

                The sun moves south, the nights get cold.

                 

                November brings the bonfire's bright -  

                Romantic meals by candlelight.    

                 

                December's here with Christmas lights,      

                Which decorate the streets at night.

                 

                Christmas comes with warmth and cheer - 

                Let's welcome in a brand new year.
