Some call it the merry month of May.
May-be.
May-be-not....
You don’t hear “merry” used all that much anymore, though.
I mean other than the Christmas thing.
Folks don’t say, “I’m having a merry old day, today”.
Or they’re in a very merry mood.
No...for some reason “merry” has been shoved aside into the frivolous adjectival flotsam of colorful conversation.
Which is too bad because it seems a very merry, apropos
description...especially for the month of May.
May-be.
May-be-not....

Leaves of summer dot the trees, waves of green in a flowing breeze...a
reminder the cycle spins, forever and a day...especially in May.
May-be.
May-be-not....
May is for breaking out new shorts and T’s.
Pre-season beach excursions.
