The sunshine seeks my little room
To tell me Paris streets are gay;
That children cry the lily bloom
All up and down the leafy way;
That half the town is mad with May,
With flame of flag and boom of bell:
For Carnival is King to-day;
So pen and page, awhile farewell.
Robert Service 1874-1958

I love "mad with May". It's already May down there, isn't it?
Yes, half way through May Day!
