Week 25 Shared Reading

Lion or Lamb

When March comes in gently

With soft skies of blue

And warm happy breezes

And crocus buds, too,

March begins like a lamb

Sweet, gentle and kind.

But you'd better beware

For you'll surely find

That the end of the month

Will be stormy and cold.

Like a lion it'll roar

Rough, growly and bold.

If March begins windy

And stormy and gray,

If it's too cold outside

To happily play,

The lion's here first

And he's not so nice

You should be indoors

Take my advice.

But wonderful weather

Is coming, they say,

By the end of the month

The lamb's here to stay!
