National Macaroon Day, etc.

Eat a macaroon,
Or two, or possibly three,
Heck, eat lots of them.

Water a Flower Day

Water a flower
With your big watering can,
Or your garden hose.

National Recommitment Month

Nothing for today;
But recommit to something
Anytime this month.

 

It’s National Recommitment Month.  This started out as “there’s nothing today / at least specifically / check another day”, but I decided to do something for the month.

Amnesty International Day

Protect human rights,
And providing awareness;
That’s what they’re about.

 

It’s Amnesty International Day.

Sun Screen Day

Something we should do,
Is make sure to wear sunscreen,
To protect ourselves.

Sally Ride Day

Ride in outer space,
American astronaut,
And the first woman.

 

It’s Sally Ride Day.  When I first saw the name for this day I thought of the song “Mustang Sally“.

Tap Dance Day, etc.

Tap, tap, tap-i-ty,
The shoes constantly make noise,
As the dancer moves.

 

It’s National Missing Children’s Day, Tap Dance Day, Victoria Day (Canada), Memorial Day, Towel Day, and National Barbecue Month.  For some reason I’m reminded of “The Little Shoemaker“.  Maybe it’s the tapping at the beginning, or the dancing girl in the middle.

National Escargot Day

Eating Escargot?
I just don’t get the appeal,
But, to each his own.

 

It’s National Escargot Day.

Lucky Penny Day, etc.

My lucky penny
Is so shiny and brand new,
That it hurts my eyes.

Buy a Musical Instrument Day

Buy an instrument,
Brass, woodwind, or percussion,
It doesn’t matter.
