DEAR JANUARY ​

Dear January 
You are primary 
And also secondary 
Cooking the tertiary 
With a supplementary 
To make it complimentary, 
Yet we seem elementary 
Because life is visionary 
So as a missionary
In the disciplinary
You must not be ordinary 
For our sanitary 
To tell the story
Of our history 
Beyond February. 
​

DEAR FEBRUARY
​

Dear February 
If you become monetary 
Also be honorary,
If you turn purgatory 
Let us go contrary
So that our literary 
Would not be infantry 
Rather sound commentary 
Which would be mandatory 
To the binary 
And the summary 
Would be legendary
To the effect, contributory 
As onward we March. 
​

DEAR MARCH
​

Dear March 
We hope you match
This lantern, patch
And put up the starch
To hold the watch
So that our batch
Can warm the hatch
And not perch
Anywhere to catch 
Because our thatch
Shall roof over April. 
​

DEAR APRIL 
​

Dear April 
There is a bill
So listen and till
To hear the chill,
For you must fill
And grill
The gill
So that the will
For the pill
Shall drill
The hill
Not to kill 
Come what may. 
​

DEAR MAY
​

Dear May 
For each day 
You shall pay
And also lay
So calm our bay, 
Even if we are clay,
Then you shall make hay
To quickly stay
And not slay
As you help not to stray
But find the ray
For the say
To lead the way. 
​

DEAR WOMEN
​

Dear Women
The world is a jungle
Be a lion
That way, you win the struggle.

Dear Women
The world is a beast
Call her a banquet,
That way you cannot be the least.

Dear Women
The world is a baby
Bear her in your womb
And be the lady.

Dear Women
The world is a hater
Never hate her back
Instead be a skater.

Dear Women
The world is a wind
Breaking every hind
Please be a hen.

Dear Women
The world is a boat
Stay in it, afloat.

Dear Women
The world is a fight
Please put on your light.

Dear Women
The world is a lover
Please accept her flower.

Dear Women
The world is wicked
Making all things crooked,
Please raise your pen.

Dear Women
The world is a cave
Be not her slave.

Dear Women
The world is a hut,
Do not be hurt.

Dear Women
The world is a book
Write it and let it cook.

Dear Women
The world is a witch
Fall not into her ditch
Use wisely your stitch.

Dear Women
The world is a slanderer
And a wanderer
Be her teacher.

Dear Women
The world is a hurricane
Sinking the sugarcane
Please be sane.

Dear Women
The world is full of greed
Heed to your creed
Speed up your breed
Feed your seed
Weed your need,
Then watch your deed.

Dear Women
The world is a trap
Wear your cap
Let it not be a crap.

Dear Women
The world can stab
Right inside your cab,
Watch your tap.

Dear Women
The world is a masquerade
In beauty parade
Mind your shade.

Dear Women
The world is a stage
Earn your wage.

Dear Women
The world is a prison
Even for a Samson.

Dear Women
The World is a loot
So if your foot
Hurts in the boot
Still watch your root.

Dear Women
The world is a mountain
Be for her a fountain.

Dear Women
The world is fake
Bake your own cake.

Dear Women
The world is a desert
Be her oasis,
Be the first
To quench her thirst
And let it be a thesis.

Dear Women
The world is a horror
Splashing all kinds of terror
Be for her a mirror.

Dear Women
The world is confused
Please be composed.

Dear Women
The world is a rebel
Make golden, your label.

Dear Women
The world is zigzag
Do not brag.
​
