Keep your tights on until may is gone

Just as I say its time to get those tights off and worship the Sun Goddess, it goes a little chiller.  So keep those opaque tights on to stay warm. 
In fact I may rephrase the old proverb "Ne'er cast a clout till May be out" to  "Keep your tights on until May is gone".  Now of those of you scholars who like literary pursuits might like to know.....  Since at least the early 15th century 'clout' has been used variously to mean 'a blow to the head', 'a clod of earth or (clotted) cream' or 'a fragment of cloth, or clothing'. It is the last of these that is meant in 'cast a clout'. 

Now I hope you are taking notes on my little lesson in old English ... there ... will be a test later


 To continue..  The 'till May be out' part is more difficult. On the face of it this means 'until the month of May is ended'. However, the Hawthorne tree (bush) blooms  in late April/early May. It is known as the May Tree and the blossom itself is called May. Using that allusion [good word - not it down], 'till May is out' could mean, 'until the hawthorn is out [in bloom]'.

Yeah Whatever ....

Back to fashion....

Keep your shorts short, its not that cold
Socks over tights are going a bit far though.  And those Uggs - ugg!
And short shorts mean all those pantyhose perverts will be happy since you may see a flash of tights top.  Go on girls tease those pervs with what they'll never have.
Those of us who wish to worship the Sun Goddess will keep to go to her temples and lay on her altars and let her rays kiss our skin.  (But take your tights and boots off first!)
