Which April song?

"April, come she will" Simon & Garfunkel

Flanders & Swann, "the weather"

Or what?

Or do you mean this one, recorded on the wonderful "Maypoles to Mistletoe"?

APRIL

-- Ted Robinson

So here we are in April, in showy, blowy April,
In frowsy, blowsy April, the rowdy dowdy time
In soppy, sloppy April, in wheezy breezy April,
In ringing, stinging April, with a singing swinging rhyme.   

The smiling sun of April on the violets is focal,
The sudden showers of April seek the dandelion out;
The tender airs of April make the local yokel vocal,
And he raises rustic ditties with a most melodious shout.

So here we are in April, in tipsy gypsy April,
In showery, flowery April, the twinkly, sprinkly days;
In tingly, jingly April, in highly wily April,
In mighty, flighty April with its highty-tighty ways!

The duck is fond of April, and the clucking chickabiddy
And other barnyard creatures have a try at caroling;
There's something in the air to turn a stiddy kiddy giddy,
And even I am forced to raise my croaking voice and sing.

Yes, the swimming looks delightful!

I shall join, I promise, just as soon as I get a home e-mail address to work from (which should be soon). I don't want to risk spending even more work time per day visiting here than I already do by joining from here!

Ta,
Claire
