Cruel April

April is the cruelest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
~~T.S. Eliot

[pyramiaou]

In July the sun is hot Is it shining? no it's not August cold and dank and wet Brings more rain than any yet Bleak September's mist and mud Is enough to chill the blood Then October adds a gale Wind and slush and rain and hail Dark November brings the fog Should not do it to a dog Freezing colde December, then Bloody January again!

Nice! Sounds like Ogden Nash.

[PhilosopherFresh]

Well done!

[pyramiaou]

No, in fact it is Flanders and Swann's Song of the Weather... A typically British view!

[yafanna3]

I love this. It's so right on!

[MamboDogFaceOne]

I have to admit I didn't pay attention to the sound track. I'll have to go unearth the DVD and give it another go!

[MamboDogFaceOne]

Oh, would I welcome extra hands! Is that an offer? :)

Pay is low though, just a share of the crop...

[phaedress]

No, not the second one: the first. It is a briliant movie in many ways. True horror of its time (i don't generally watch horror), with real characters and original plots.

I went straight to the store from the movie theatre for the soundrack and have been loving it in detail these past five (?) years.

Do you require seasonal labour on your farmstead, m'aam?

[pyramiaou]

January brings the snow Makes your feet and fingers glow February's ice and sleet Freeze the toes right off your feet Welcome March with wintry wind Would thou wert not so unkind April brings the sweet spring showers On and on for hours and hours Farmers fear unkindly May Frost by night and hail by day June just rains and never stops Thirty days and spoils the crops Contd next comment
