the ides of march 2018

ever since Homo Sapiens didst
insinuate, elbow and barge
humanity at the mercy sans, small, medium
(Strunk and White) elemental forces at large

a local, county, or state Sarge
gent on the shoulder, cuz

he or she would moost likely agree
that this Month (predicated
on The Gregorian calendar me
didst axe Mister Google, 

   (who whiz courtesy enough prithee)
to validate premise about 
   when Time Construct came a boot re:

   introduced it in October fifteen eighty two)
from that date to present, 
   the most widely ant queue
    test used civil calendar, and when brand new

   as days, weeks, months...elapsed 

   unimportant to the average Joe

   from primary col lord thread)

from initial intent, vis a vis, 
   how all life forms stretching 
   within the bounds of quisling

to discuss preparations to cope 
   with onset of infrequent roaring blizzard 
   (via ominous clouds that didst trace)

plus minimizing setbacks affecting 
   the then most advanced stone age
