A joke for all seasons... er, each season
September 26, 2006 10:13 AM Subscribe
I'm looking for short jokes, riddles, tongue twisters, or funny sayings about each month of the year. Think "April showers bring May flowers, so what do Mayflowers bring?" Anyone have more?
Major U.S. holiday and seasonal jokes will do in a pinch, but we want to stick to non-denominational jokes. (This is for my mom's classroom.)

March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.

Mayflowers bring pilgrims. And smallpox.

"I'll take months beginning with 'Feb', Alex."
"This is the only month that begins with 'Feb'."
*DING* "Febtober!"

Remember, remember the 5th of November.
Okay, I suppose that's not much of a joke. But it certainly is catchy.

Well, kinda sorta, but what the heck (3F04):
Marge: [voice over] It all started on the thirteenth hour, of the thirteenth day, of the thirteenth month. We were there to discuss the misprinted calendars the school had purchased.
Homer: [shivering, looking at the calendar] Oh, lousy Smarch weather.

Maybe not quite what you're looking for, but there's the Flanders and Swann song, "A Song of the Weather".

Not really a joke, but kids seem to like learning the knuckle calendar.

Hooray, hooray, for the first of May, outdoor necking starts today.
(Or, you know, you could use a different word than "necking." Depends on how old the kids are...)
If cold December gave you birth/the month of ice and snow and mirth/place on your hand a turquoise blue/success will bless whate'er you do.
OR
We have memories so that we might have roses in December (originally "God gave us memories...")
