The Ides of March -Edited Just Now

(I posted this and found out one line did not rhyme, so I had to adjust the second limerick) That the Ides of March we should beware is a quote which is not really fair. Shakespeare wrote it; it stuck and it now means bad luck. Of its meaning few folks are aware! The Ides of March used to denote the New Year, and so Shakespeare's quote might make little sense, but in his defense - Ides occurred when Caesar they smote! “The Ides” of ALL months simply means the moon is a crescent, but beans do folks mostly know! new moons come and go. The Ides fall in months’ in-betweens! April 9, 2022 for Edward Ibeh's This or That, Vol 11 Poetry Contest
