April is National Poetry Month

A Little Poem for Poetry Month

by Jack Prelutsky

I'm glad we have a Poetry Month, But still, I wonder whyThey chose a month with thirty days —Were months in short supply?I wish that they'd selectedA longer month, like May.I'm certain I'd appreciateThat extra poetry day.Of course, if they'd picked February,I would be aghast,For February's very shortAnd passes far too fast.But April's not as short as that,So I don't hesitateTo say I'm glad it's Poetry Month.Hooray! Let's celebrate.
