They see a world where everyone
Is rich and smart and young
But if I live to see such things
Too late for me they come
Songs that feature birds #8

Happy Mayday! Happy Beltane!
Today is what Terry Pratchett once referred to as one of the axles of the year. It's the day to welcome in the summer, to crown the May Queen, to follow the oss, or to dress the well.
