[Bramblethorn]

The use of May to represent someone in the prime of their life - grown but still fresh and young - dates back to Chaucer. She was paired with a Mr January (nearer the end of his life) but once the end of the year was moved to December rather than March, December made more sense and rolled off the tongue better.

And still in use in the 20th century, e.g. via Weill and Anderson's "September Song", originally from a 1938 musical "Knickerbocker Holiday" and then a hit for Sinatra. In the musical it's sung by the ageing governor of New York as he seeks to marry a young woman against her will:

When I was a young man courting the girls
I played me a waiting game
If a maid refused me with tossing curls
I'd let the old Earth take a couple of whirls
While I plied her with tears in lieu of pearls
And as time came around she came my way
As time came around, she came
When you meet with the young girls early in the spring
You court them in song and rhyme
They answer with words and a clover ring
But if you could examine the goods they bring
They have little to offer but the songs they sing
And a plentiful waste of time of day
A plentiful waste of time
Oh, it's a long, long while from May to December
But the days grow short
When you reach September
When the Autumn weather turns the leaves to flame
One hasn't got time for the waiting game
Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few
September, November
And these few precious days
I'll spend with you

TLDR: when you're young, you can afford to wait for girls to put out, but now that I'm old I'm less patient. One of those "romantic until you think about it" songs.

It was later used in Woody Allen's "Radio Days". According to Wiki, "Allen has stated that the song may be the best American popular song ever written."

The phrase is possibly better known in Britain thanks to the Bafta-nominated sitcom.

Ran from 1989-94. It was rather good, though understandably lost the Bafta to The New Statesman.

It also means I've started June, so where are the summer flowers and balmy crescent moon nights of soft love with hot breath between my legs?

EB looked at Stickygirl's bookshelf. "I see you're up to D.H. Lawrence. For God's sake, keep away from swings and horses."
