In the tradition of the great Jonathan Swift, I’d like to make modest proposal of my own: April’s gotten away with it for too long and we need to get rid of it. Well, what has April ever done to you, you might ask. Oh, where do I begin?<\/p>\n
Look no further than the bible, and the analogy is clear; Jesus had twelve disciples, and there are twelve months. To wit, Petrus is May, the one you can always rely on. But who corresponds to April if not Judas, the deceitful.<\/p>\n
My friends, April has betrayed us for the last time. Never again shall we suffer the disappointment of going to bed after a gorgeous spring sunset only to wake up to a frozen pandemonium. No man, women or child should face the indignity of putting their winter tires into storage at noon only to brush the freshly fallen snow of their car at dusk. Let us once and for all relegate the experience of leaving for a spring time walk and finding one self under attack by a truculent blizzard to the trash heap of history.<\/p>\n
And let’s not forget: Nobody ever liked April to begin with. It might be the journey rather than the destination which matters, but April isn’t a flight nor a train; it’s the airport conveyor belt. In the best case it’s slowly moving forward, but most likely it’s stopped altogether.<\/p>\n
So what should we do with the left over days? Simple: Let’s use six of them for making all of the remaining eleven months 31 days long. I further propose that we put the other 24 days away in a safe place. If something were to happen with the remaining 341 days, we might need spares. The people celebrating their birthday in April can all enjoy their day of jubilee in July instead, and will thank us.<\/p>\n
