Once in a While, or Wednesday, Feb. 29

It's leap day.  Go Wild.
They only come once in a while.

Knock yourself out, but that excuse falls flat.
I've done plenty of things rarer than that.
I had my first kiss, rode my first bike and first lay.
There was the first time I didn't leave bed all day,

And even better, I've done things I won't do again.
Spent time far away, took trips with old friends,
Seen so many places, climbed mountains, rode waves,
Took a hike through the backwoods, alone, lost for days,

But if a fair excuse to party is the thing that works for you,
Who needs quadrennial traditions where I tell you what to do?
