NO RHYME NOR REASON!

   NO RHYME NOR REASON!

   Welcome to September everyone.

September first is "National No

Rhyme Nor Reason Day." That phrase

first found its way into the English

language in a 1460 book, "The Boke

Of Nurture" by John Russel. But it

is, perhaps, better know as it was 

used in the Shakespearean play

"A Comedy of Errors" in 1590.

You can celebrate the day without

rhyme or reason. For instance, you

may write a poem with lines that

don't rhyme. Or you may get together

with a friend and write pomes for no

particular reason. You can do a good

deed for a friend or neighbor just

for the sake of doing it without

seeking thanks or compensation. By

the way the phrase "No Rhyme Nor

Reason" is described  as an

"Idiom." as it is used in English.

Coincidentally, my wife

has referred to me as an idiom on

many occasions. But I think she

pronounces it differently! In any

case enjoy your day without rhyme

or reason and may all your NEWS

be good!
