The Merry Month of May
Pinch, punch, first of the month,
and no returns, they said.
However, I'd got my second wind
and gave them the third degree.
May the fourth be with them and protect them
from the revenge of the fifth.
At sixes and sevens,
while one over the eighth,
they went down like ninepins.
I wouldn't touch them with a ten-foot pole,
although this one goes up to eleven!
All in the merry month of May.

Strange moods make for cool writing!
And don't forget the importance of the 13th. My birthday! I'm just glad to be still kicking! Lol.
I'm glad to see y'all with your normal avatar pics again, too!
Your write is so clever. It's like a playful mental test to see if you're staying sharp. (And the readers, as well). Cool to read, Ellie.

Thank you! I do try to go for quirky and clever... sometimes. I will remember your birthday! 49, is it? Mine is April 13th, so easy to remember!
