On the Ides Of March
I went in to a shop
forgetting my purse
so I did a quick hop

Went to poetry group
all up in the air
Someone just threw their coffee
here there, everywhere

The poetry leader
showed he was able
and tipped the blueberries
all over the table

The hairdresser said
"It's windy today"
keep your hair on your head
or it might blow away

Not only "The Ides"
It's 'Red Nose Day' too
People finding daft things
for others to do

They raise Stacks of cash
to meet others' needs
a good way of forgetting
The Ides' past misdeeds
