Thoughts on May Day Eve

May Day Eve, which this year falls
On Friday, so the work week stalls ...
Yet eccentricity still shows:
Some shops stay open, others close!

It's any which-way, once again
But should be fun – if there's no rain
No benefit from this free time
To meet with friends and wine and dine...

For employees It's not hunky-dory
For the self-employed – a tragic story!
But fashion knows what it's about:
«Cast ne'er a clout till May be out»!*

Old wives' tale or tried and true?
We experience weather patterns new
My wisteria blossoms in profusion
So I conclude - it's no illusion!

(c) Poet in the woods 2019



* French version
English version: cast ne'er a clout till May be out!
