Number 40. May 11th, Always Sunny in Sussex.

May 11^th, Always Sunny in Sussex.

I’ll mow your lawn

So it’s neat to sit awn,

And the stripes make you feel like a Major.

I’ll bring out the booze,

And teach you to lose,

By making you agree to a wager!

You’ll probably bet

That it’s sometimes wet,

On May the eleventh now and then.

But on that very day,

I can pretty safely say;

In fifty years I’ve known not when!

This year ‘till May ten

It poured and just then,

In the morning the sun burst on through.

All day it stayed dry,

I knew perfectly why;

And I could have had that bet with you.

If you take a look,

It’s a good day to book

A party, or an outdoor event.

Check back on the years,

If you have any fears;

You’ll find it's an effort well spent.

So next year remember,

(Not in November),

But when you’re tired of April showers;

If for weeks it rains,

Till it overflows the drains,

There’ll be sun on May 11th for hours!
