Mary Ann Hoberman
Think how fast a year flies by A month flies by A week flies by Think how fast a day flies by A Mayfly’s life lasts but a day A single day To live and die A single day How fast it goes The day The Mayfly Both of those. A Mayfly flies a single day The daylight dies and darkness grows A single day How fast it flies A Mayfly’s life How fast it goes.
The crocodile Has a crooked smile. The alligator’s is straighter. Or maybe it’s the other way. (With crocodiles it’s hard to say.) Perhaps the opposite is true. (It’s hard with alligators, too.) But if I write what I just said, The first way might be right instead. And then again the second might As easily be wrong or right. Or right as wrong. Likewise the first. In that case should they be reversed?
February, funny word, With my "r" that's hardly heard, Different in so many ways, I'm the month with fewest days; And another thing that's strange is I'm the only month that changes: Every leap year - one in four - I am given one day more, Twenty-nine from twenty-eight (Not so easy to keep straight). Still it's lots of fun to vary - I like being February!
