March~
~~~
- March begins with the sun in the sign of Pisces and ends in the sign of Aries.
- International Women's Day occurs March 8.
- March begins on the same day of the week as February, excepting leap years, and as November every year.
- There is an adage that March "comes in like a lion, but goes out like a lamb", referring to the weather that some regions experience during the month. This saying is meant to demonstrate the unpredictable weather which often occurs as the seasons change.
- March's birth flower is the jonquil.
- In ancient Rome, March was called Martius, so named after Mars, the Roman god of war.
...And now, the couplet:
~~~
Marchlam
March in like a lion, March out like a lamb;
March starts with a fish and ends with a ram.

That took all of two/three minutes ~_^ Hope you paid attention to the jazz above~ Anyhow, Spring Break's next week, so expect some more elaborate entries and a couple new poems; take care 'til next,

All of three minutes? You time-consuming genius. ^_~ I like these periodical entries. Will you continue them through the end of the year (seeing as you've already done months August/September-December)? Or will you just choose new facts to post? ^.^ I'm getting ahead of myself!
Not sure~ I may do posts at the beginning of the month that link the post from a year ago and then feature another poem; that might be appropriate.
Cool couplet there, but not as good as the earlier ones. :) Thanks for the trivia, keep it coming ^^.
You're right, this couplet's not quite as clever; pretty mundane now that I look about it. Maybe I'll do a replacement... next March ~_^
