The last day of March brings us
a mix of snow, sleet and sun
The day before April fools 
seems to be having some fun

We put our warm coats on
and then take them off again 
Take a seat outdoors 
only to be caught out by the rain

This time of year, the weather
constantly changes it’s mind 
There’s no sure way of knowing 
what elements you may find

Temperatures fall below freezing 
through the night time hours 
Whilst days combine warm, sunny spells
with wintery showers

If this leaves you in a quandary 
not knowing what to wear 
There is a simple old saying 
that I feel the need to share 

Over the next two months 
if you have an element of doubt
Button to chin, till May be in
cast not a clout, till May be out
