Ode to Jicama by Juliette

Ode to Jicama*

Jicama, oh jicama I love you so,
Jicama, oh jicama you're white like snow.

Are you a vegetable or are you a root?
I'm falling for you, I need a parachute.

Jicama, oh jicama you are so juicy,
Jicama, oh jicama you make me loosey-goosey.

How did you get to be so good?
And yet, you are still so misunderstood.

Jicama, oh jicama you are so healthy,
Jicama, oh jicama you snuck up on me, you're stealthy.

Jicama, oh jicama you give me vitamin C,
Jicama, oh Jicama you hold the key.

Jicama, oh jicama you make a great meal,
for jicama, oh jicama you are quite ideal.

Juliette

The Word: April By Odessa

What do you think of when you hear the word April? Do you think of spring and newly blooming flowers or do you think about April Fool's Day and the pranks? April originally used to be the second month of the year, still following March, of the Roman calendar year. But it became the fourth month around 450 BCE with only 29 days. But when Pope Gregory created the Gregorian calendar in 1582, he changed it to 30 days of April. There are several theories about the etymology of April, the first is that April, came from aperire which means ‘to open’ in Latin. A second theory is that April was named after the Greek goddess of love and beauty, “Aphrodite”. Or another theory that Jacob Grimm, a famous linguist, though was that there was a god or hero named Aper or Aprus April is actually National Humor Month as well as Mathematics Awareness Month and National Poetry Month. April is a wonderful month, we get the chance to fully appreciate spring.
