    April, May, keep away from the sea
    June, July, stay there till you die.
    You shouldn't take off any clothing in May. The old saying is
    Don't cast a clout
    Until May is out.
    The first of April is called Fools' Day and people send others on foolish errands up to the present, on that day.
