It's May!
Tra la! It's May!
The lusty month of May!
That lovely month when ev'ryone goes
Blissfully astray.
Tra la! It's here!
That shocking time of year
When tons of wicked little thoughts
Merrily appear!
Thanks to Camelot and Julie Andrews

To heaven's very gate.
Mary Murphy - age 12
The Triboro Bridge
