But February made me shiver with every paper I’d deliver bad news on the doorstep I couldn’t take one more step
Don McLean American Pie
February - it MUST be Mardi Gras somewhere!
I vote for Mo-Skee.
“Tinsel in February, tinsel in August. There are things in a man besides his reason.”
Wallace Stevens, “Pieces”I vote for Linus. Wallace Stevens is always superior :)
Thanks! But technically speaking, Don McLean rocks more…
Late February days; and now, at last, Might you have thought that Winter’s woe was past;
William James
But technically speaking, Stevens rocked pretty hard for an actuarial sort, yes?
As he said, “It gives a man character as a poet to have this daily contact with a job.”
(which I remind myself every day :))
It’s a consolation to me too. It’s hard to imagine Stevens in the next cubicle. Beats the “death without dignity” job philosophy.
I lack the poetry of the soul:
“Thirty days hath September, April, June, and November; February has twenty-eight alone, All the rest have thirty-one, Excepting leap-year, that’s the time When February’s days are twenty-nine.”

-Ron (Out There)
