The Ides of... April?

Beware the Ides of March, the saying goes. I think it comes from Shakespeare. But the real month to fear seems to be April. The Oklahoma City bombing occurred this month. Also, the Waco massacre. Columbine. Hitler's birthday. And now Virginia Tech. I'm surprised some misguided do-gooders aren't calling for April's abolishment from the calendar.

In the springtime, a young mans fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love .. and if he doesn't score, he heavily turns his thoughts to murder ..
