JULY,having tarried with us for thirty one days
bids our fickle world farewell as he prepares
to embark on his journey to land of the past
with a solemn promise to visit again
In a grander style in the coming year;

As he turned his head to take a last look
at our world behind,Tears in his eyes stood,
And he uttered in a dolorous tone:

"I am sorry that I could not stay enough long
to fulfill all the promises unto you I made
when I arrived on the heels of the departure of JUNE.
But to take my stead, AUGUST my friend will be here very soon,
And he will build magneficiently on the all the foundations I have laid.

I beseech you to treat him with the same hospitality you afforded me to find
abundant favours in his eyes because of all my friends,he is the most kind"
