JUVENILE ALMANAC by DOROTHY BUERGER

First Line: WE HAVE NO NEED OF CALENDARS
Last Line: STORE B.B. GUNS AND REEL!
Subject(s): BOYS; SEASONS;

We have no need of calendars
At our house any more:
Each season romps in with a blast
Of playful boyhood lore!

When summer sunshine bakes the land,
The waves of heat are crest
With echoes of blurred Tarzan calls,
Thumped upon sun-tanned chests!

As autumn's multi-colored leaves
Sway to the school-bell's peal --
Reluctantly the little men
Store B.B. guns and reel!
