ACRONYM TO FOLLOW

April 02, 2020  /  Peter Brav

Five years ago I noticed that marketers had created a day for everything and I wrote an aspirational poem ACRONYM TO FOLLOW which appears below. Today as I look back at the poem, I note what a disparate collection of celebrations share April 2, 2020 for today is simultaneously NATIONAL FERRET DAY, NATIONAL PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY DAY, NATIONAL RECONCILIATION DAY, WORLD AUTISM AWARENESS DAY, and NATIONAL BURRITO DAY.

Finally

Our Day has come

There’s a Day for everything

For doughnuts, siblings, eight track tapes

Grilled cheese, daughters and sons to work

Encouragement, Alzheimer’s

Coffee, math, chewing gum

Blasphemy, yo-yos

And now finally

One for us

Truly a Day to celebrate

National

Don’t Shoot An Unarmed Brother

Doctor King Not Seeing Progress

George Orwell Laughing

It Is So About the Money

Enough Is Never Enough

Can You Spare A Dime

Or More Time

Freedom Isn’t Free

But It Is Complicated
