Jubilant January jumpstarts the year amidst fireworks and joy

Frozen February dashes behind, outrunning the lovers who feel hearts are toys

Madcap March meanders wildly, wielding weather like a club

And Avaricious April withholds its many flowering bulbs

Muggy May mopes sadly, bringing with it vicious rain

Joyous June picks up the slack and fills the world with poems again

Jealous July’s bright sparks at night leave the first month’s sparks outshined

While Austere August tuts and watches schoolwork fill the children’s minds

Scholarly September works to cover skills that August lacks

Unaware that Odd October stalks and spooks the kids behind its back

Noble November’s colors feed the stomach and the soul

And Dear December caps it off with festive flair and cold
