It’s May! It’s May! The Month of “Yes, You May”

It’s May! It’s May! The Month of “Yes, You May”

Traditions here are moss grown, very green

And healthy.  Ordered ways have not gone down.

The white dressed cricket teams can still be seen

Though players’ skins may well be black or brown

As maybe distant centuries might have not

Been able to envisage.  Weddings still

Are celebrated in a sunshine fraught

With chestnut candles.  Still the same sweet drill

Of love and vows, but now the couples may

Be man and man or woman at the gate

Of matrimony with her woman.  Gay

Frivolities continue at this fête.

..The pub serves beer and Sunday roasts, yes, but

….An alcohol-less beer and roasts of nut.
