On the fifth day of June

Summer arrived

Rather unexpectedly

It was the signal for

Chris and Christine

To go to the common

And count the buttercups

 

On the sixth day of June

Summer arrived

Quite unexpectedly

It was the signal for

Jack and his Jackdaws

To go to the common

And count the buttercups

 

On the seventh day of June

Summer arrived

Rather unexpectedly

It was the signal for

Tig and Tag

To go to the common

And count the buttercups

 

On the eighth day of June

Summer arrived

Quite unexpectedly

It was the signal for

Steph and Steve

To go to the common

And count the buttercups

 

On the ninth day of June

Summer arrived

Rather unexpectedly

It was the signal for

Jean and Judas

To go to the common

And count the buttercups

 

On the tenth day of June

Summer arrived

Quite unexpectedly

It was the signal for me

To go to the common

And write this poem

And count the many buttercups
