May Day-The Maypole Dance

An event dating back for hundreds of years, takes place on the first day of May;
When young maidens in their whitest dress, dance around The Maypole on this day!
Way back in nineteen sixty-two, my high school honored this custom past;
With a special day for all Seniors, those memories will forever last!
.
The guys would all wear sportscoats, the gals wore their finest clothes;
A dozen of them were selected, to dance around the pole!
Just like today, the weather was perfect, sunny and eighty degrees;
As I sit outside writing this poem, just five miles from where my school used to be!
.
I so remember that precious high school happening, dating back now fifty-six long years;
We all rallied around the Maypole, and we let out a thousand cheers!
One of the dancers was my favorite, I watched her twirl around the pole;
I was totally excited, just thinking about my erotic goals!

                      Dance round the Maypole
                Young maidens dressed in white
                       Oh those good old days
