March

The first two months we tromp and plod
Or trudge or slog or shuffle
While bundled up, accompanied
By cough or sneeze or snuffle.

But now the calendar has turned
And so our pace increases.
Think Sousa and start moving with
Your ear turned towards his pieces.

In other words, drop all that starch:
Today begins the month of MARCH!

My father was a great fan of Sousa, but nothing compares to German military marches for inspiration to MARCH! But with the onset of the coronavirus, everyone should get some exercise out in the fresh air (away from other marchers)! Aloha! Rico

Bring on the big brass band, Ilene! ~ Though March came into Chicago like a lamb...Hope it won't go out like a lion. Happy meteorological Spring to you! :) Gershon
