As Mad As ...
a March hare - even madder, three March hares. These guys have featured in the journal in previous Marches, only the bed of flowers varies.
Apparently ( thank you Wiki) the phrase refers to 'the antics said only to occur in the breeding season of the European hare', and 'it can be used to refer to any other animal or human who behaves in an excitable and unpredictable manner'. Hmm, I can think of a few examples .....
I can also think of a few other well-worn phrases featuring the hare - 'Hare today and gone tomorrow' maybe.
Is this all getting a bit silly? Well, in that case I'd better tag it for Silly Saturday (thank you, Admirer :-))
