A merry month of May arrives
Full of joyful life
Bird song welcomes everyone
Primroses are everywhere
Coming to an end
Searching out the artist in our souls
This wild flung friend
Five petals and five stamens
Thanks to the bee’s we see
Pollination going on
Guaranteed and free
Transferring plant materials
From other plants ensures
Natures wondrous advantages
I have to note it scores
Highly on the healthy look
And honestly ensures
All the pollinators Wasps and bees and all
Tirelessly they work their magic
From their godly school
Look out just see the buttercups
A perfect blaze of gold
Hated by the farmer
Who quietly yes May scold
Nature for incorporating these plants
In his field
Bitter very acrid tasting
Horridly does wield
A kind of upset really
For the cows for they do know
And keep away from Buttercups
Wherever they may grow.
