A sense of fun and modesty
Began your plea for charity
January and February smiling there
Behind a chocolate cream éclair
March and April smiling coyly
Their buns displayed upon a doily
May and June are making lace
Their threads in a strategic place
July and August behind some tarts
That obscure their body parts
September and October grin
Behind a bottle of sloe gin
November and December laugh
Robed only in a knitted scarf
I so admire your almond whirls
And modest smiles dear Calendar Girls
