Today’s poem marks the ides (or idus) or March, a day classically associated with the settling of debts (and maybe old scores, too).
I'm disappointed that the poem for today wasn't simply,
"In March, July, October, May,
The Ides fall on the 15th day,
The Nones the seventh; but all besides
Have two days less for Nones and Ides."
Ha! I already promised myself we’d do it next year along with the original Mother Goose rhyme.
