The magic of Spring by Carolina Sartor
AnElephantCant tell you how excited he is
About just what this third month can bring
He casts off his thick socks
On the March Equinox
Because that is allegedly the first day of spring
On the 31st there is a big change here
We go to ridiculous from the sublime
It already happened
In the US last weekend
Our clocks go forward to Summertime
(but the living ain’t easy)
March gets its name from the bellicose Mars
Who is the Roman God of War
And another thing besides
The 15th is the Ides
When poor Julius’s back felt quite sore
March is a big month for animals
It proverbially comes in like a lion
And out like a lamb
In Scotland it’s not calm
There’s no denying our patience it is trying
The March Hare is depicted by Carroll
In his wonderful book about Alice
Although he is clearly quite dotty
He’s not really naughty
He boxes but without any real malice
This month also celebrates St Paddy’s
Also Independence Day if you live down in Texas
Et International Francophone Day
C’est tres bon one might say
Mais ce n’est pas very clear how that affects us

It is amazing how AnElephantCan
March through March so skillfully
and Rhyme rhymes beautifully
Like no one else can,
When trying Emmy tries
Ever so patiently
it falls flat and dies

Emmy’s free form odes
Lead many roads
And no matter what
They never fall flat
AnElephant is not just being gallant
He says she has the talent
This style of verse
Is hard at first
AnElephant’s brain implodes

Very clever, excellent! I always enjoy your ability with not only the rhyming but also your mastery of words (And your very innovative titles that can contain multiple or hidden meanings in them)! So well done! 🙂 xx

AnElephantCant properly thank Penny
She always finds nice words to say
She opts out of the rhyming
With impeccable timing
Before AnElephant leads her astray

I see we both, from time to time,
Set out our posts in words that rhyme,
Yet of the ones I have a store-ful,
Mine tend to be most Really Awful,
March hares I brought in all would be,
Impious, and a hare I see,
And also, you might wish to shun
My tendency to make a pun.

AnElephant has got him going
Colonialist answers in a poem
So this is just a quick response
To show an air of nonchalance
But puns are fun
And AnElephant has just one

Do not truncate your pun –
Albeit only one –
For patchy derms
Can come to terms
With one, all said and done!

AnElephantCant compete with Colonialist
He is already on the run
But before you go
He thinks you should know
That his ‘one’ was a subtle wee pun

That pun quite considerably neat –
I should have just conceded defeat!

“When poor Julius’s back felt quite sore”
I love that, so I say “encore”
Down here it is freezing this March
The cold makes clothes stiff like starch
The cars are stuck, but it’s not their fault
The gritters didn’t go out and use the salt.
Loved that one 🙂
