Read lines 5-9 from the poem:

If I could see you in a year, 5
I'd wind the months in balls,
And put them each in separate drawers,
Until their time befalls.

Why might the speaker compare months to balls that he or she would wind and put in drawers?

A) to make fun of people who spend long periods of time waiting for something that will never happen

B) to convey how unimportant the months are compared to seeing the addressee in a year

C) to suggest that a month can seem like an endless amount of time when a person is waiting for something

D) to encourage readers to spend time organizing their personal lives in the coming year
