This Month's Song
I'd prefer not to sing about March
and I hope you'll grant immunity
to avoid the opportunity
of my having to cite April too
which , though it may mean Spring to you--
with thoughts of a Love's caress--
to me suggests more a date with the IRS.
But besides
those dreaded Ides**,
the Spring Season's been celebrated enough
by others more talented, tender or tough.
and I feel now, having gotten quite old,
that we should not neglect those months that are cold
to celebrate still what pleasures remain
in using what's left of the brain
with music that's good
with music that's good
in company with food
for even if
memories of September may be only an ember
It's still rather nice to be around in December.

September Song
When I was a young man courting the girls
I played me a waiting game
If a maid refused me with tossing curls
I'd let the old Earth make a couple of whirls
While I plied her with tears in lieu of pearls
And as time came around she came my way
As time came around, she came
I played me a waiting game
If a maid refused me with tossing curls
I'd let the old Earth make a couple of whirls
While I plied her with tears in lieu of pearls
And as time came around she came my way
As time came around, she came
When you meet with the young girls early in the Spring
You court them in song and rhyme
They answer with words and a clover ring
But if you could examine the goods they bring
They have little to offer but the songs they sing
And the plentiful waste of time of day
A plentiful waste of time
You court them in song and rhyme
They answer with words and a clover ring
But if you could examine the goods they bring
They have little to offer but the songs they sing
And the plentiful waste of time of day
A plentiful waste of time
Oh, it's a long, long while from May to December
But the days grow short when you reach September
When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame
One hasn't got time for the waiting game
But the days grow short when you reach September
When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame
One hasn't got time for the waiting game
Oh, the… Full lyrics on Google Play
