1 <br />in January <br />I met Jane <br />in February <br />it was all love <br />flying Cupids <br />and St Valentine’s <br /> <br />in March <br />we marched down the aisle <br />I slipped the ring in her finger <br />and she let me slip into her that night <br />in April <br />I came home early and saw her kissing some guy <br />and when I coughed <br />they both laughed at me and said: <br />“Happy April Fool’s Day! ” <br />A belated one, though; <br />still - I just laughed, <br />always love surprises <br />and a good sport I’d always been <br /> <br />I don’t remember what we did <br />In May - <br />but the predominant emotion is one of dismay <br />June saw us <br />make love <br />under the moon <br />and at noon <br />in July <br />she made full use of her vocal cords <br />and reached her peak of pitch: <br />“Oh God! - you’re just like any guy! <br />You’ve turned the house into a sty! ” <br />August I decided to be a little dignified; <br />and in September we were like King and Queen <br />with diamond crown and scented scepter each <br /> <br />2 <br />in October she crashed our new <br />shiny, costly SUV Rover <br />and I just found it difficult to stay sober <br />November <br />is a month to remember, to remember <br />well it’s something private between me and Jane <br />it’s something to do with a member, a member <br />November - Oh baby, <br />it’s something to remember, remember... <br />December came and - was it the heat <br />or the cold? - <br />by the end we were dismembered, dismembered: <br />I’m alone again <br />and this time maybe <br />in scented January <br />in fresh January I’ll find May<br /><br />Raj Arumugam<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-calendar-poem/
