Earworm / Earwig

   "In the green month of May, when the cherry trees sway, I was riding my horse through the lane..." Until its present persistence,  I don't think I've heard this song or even thought about it since our third grade music teacher taught it to us. I believe the teacher was Ruth Stover, (Janet Weber's mother). Mr. Edwards was later, as I recall. For a few days now, the entire lyrics to the song  have been stuck in my mind. Along with the picture in the song book  of a man riding a black horse through an orchard. There may have been a lady pictured there, but at the time I cared only about the horse. Maybe the refrain will disappear come June.
