The TALES you probably never heard about

ITS JUNE TIME

June has come the best month of the year
So may the nice weather fill us with cheer
We don’t need a winter coat or heavy boots
And children can be outside without a snowsuit
Its nice to be outside even for a few hours
Enjoying the nice weather while tending the flowers
Wood is cut split and piled up to dry
By the sun away up there in the sky
Some have a garden and its planted we know
So now we just wait for rain to make it grow
In the garden there are vegetables galore
Carrot peas potatoes and much much more
Just watch the sun doesn’t burn your skin
And from 10 am-2pm it’s best to stay in
As the flowers bloom to our face comes a smile
Since we know they’ll be there for a little while
We can take a drive down the road in the car
But with expensive gas we won’t be able to go far
And we can visit an old village to learn of yester year
But how would people be if those times return here
In families with the schools and the old general store
The old schools are gone but the stores are around a little more
Through the bush we can go on a little hike
Or maybe fishing or swimming or ride a bike
The grass is cut often as it grows real quick
As its hard to cut if we let it get too thick
We can visit others even if the weather turns bad
Then return home safely and happy not feeling sad
So enjoy the good weather it won’t be here long
Winter is getting closer and summer will be gone
