MAY DAY, MAYDAY

When they say May Day,
It's the fullness of spring,
North's weather is warming,
Annual buds are flowering,
Robins litter landscapes,
Grass and leaves are green,
Hummingbirds flutter feeders,
Dive-bombing others 'n playing mean.

When they say, Mayday!
They're radioing an alarm,
Signaling for rescue,
There's trouble, there's harm,
Ships and aircraft use this,
An international call,
Send help right away,
And please don't stall.
