April

"What ! take an umbrella on such a fine day" said the elf to his Mother and frowned.
"Just look at the sunshine so golden and gay and the sky is quite blue all around."
So off he went skipping in new suit of yellow but before he had gone very far
There blew up a cloud, an enormous big fellow, You know what these April clouds are.
Then down came a shower that peleted and stung, and soaked the poor elf.
With a sigh he huntg out the tunic and knickers to dry
But Alas, when he tried to get dressed in the Soft April rain, and he had to walk home in his vest.
So now pray be careful now that April is here, that you are not caught like the elf
When theres a cloud thats about to come near,
Go hurry and shelter your self.
