Marching In

February bid adieu And March marched in, like months should do. It wasn’t lion-like today; Tomorrow, though, will roar away. Some shoots are poking through the ground While leafless branches still surround And robins haven’t yet appeared; The sparrows, though, have persevered. We can’t predict how March will roll. It’s really out of our control But likely, ‘fore it starts to scram, We’ll get a little taste of lamb.

hey maurice! actually, i hadn't even thought of that! i was referring to march coming in like a lion and out like a lamb and was just playing around with the "taste" of lamb. i'm sure if i were famous and dead, some professor would tell his students that i was, of course, making a reference to the holiday...
