Greg Brown, HELP ME MAKE IT THROUGH THIS FUNKY DAY , https://youtu.be/xAJgro7vbH4 has a stanza that goes,

It look like February 19th and November 8th
had an ugly little baby
They're gonna call it "Today"
My face feels like clay
every time I try to grin
and I think I might cry
if I try to grin again.
