Saturday, July 10th, is the National Don’t Step on a Bee Day, National “Clerihew” Day, National Hop-A-Park Day, and Independence Day in the Bahamas. I only wish I was making those up, but, of course, there is a website (actually several) dedicated to keeping track of all the random national days.
Of course, Saturday is also the first annual National Helmet Day. Many retailers are generously offering helmet discounts on Saturday–click here. Top hats and hunt caps will be twice their normal price.
For those of you who are wondering–and I know you are–a “Clerihew” is a short, biographical,
whimsical poem. The lines are irregular in length, with a rhyming structure AABB.
