(
Saturday: Quotable Quotes "April is the cruelest month." -- T.S. Eliot)
The first full month of spring, originally called "Hormone Acropolis" by the ancient Greeks, was renamed in 214 A.D. by a Roman, Eddie Two-Shoes.
Eddie'd met this girl, April Jones, and couldn't seem to get her body nomenclature from his head. He liked her head, too, but it was really the stuff between the smooth shoulderlands to the north, and the marsh areas of her southern Apennines, that caught his interest.
Eddie was, after all, what one day would be called "Italian." So spring for him was like a shark, hormone feeding frenzy, with girls in short skirts riding motorscooters.
