| Tuesday | /ˈtjuːzdeɪ/ | Tuez-day | Tues |

In January, cold winds blow, In February, we hope for snow.
March brings flowers, starting to appear, April showers make them clear.
In May, the sun begins to shine, June’s warmth is simply divine.
July, by the beach we lay, August’s heat, makes us sway.

November, with its festive cheer, December ends the year so dear.
