Mad as a March hare. To be as mad as a March hare is an English idiomatic phrase derived from the observed antics, said to occur only in the March breeding season of the Hare, genus Lepus.
The Anthem. Oh, it s hard and dry, when the sun is high. And dust is in your throat, When the rain pours down, near fit to drown, And soaks right through your coat. But the hares of the Long Patrol, my lads, Stouthearts they walk with me, Over hill and plain, and back again, By the shores of the wide blue sea. Through mud and mire to a warm campfire, I ll trek with you, old friend, O er lea and dale, in a roaring gale, Right to our journey s end. Yes, the hares of the Long Patrol, my lads, Love friendship more than gold.
