What Do We Have In Common?

Q:


"Before and After" is a "Wheel of Fortune" category where one phrase ends with a certain word, and the next phrase begins with the same word.  The common word is used only once.  For example, "bus stop" and "stop, drop and roll"  would read as "bus stop, drop and roll".

Take the phrase "Desmond is safe" and rearrange the letters to get three new words.  Then think of a word that can be added to make a "Before and After" phrase appropriate for this time of year.

"March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb".   Rearrange the letters in "Desmond is safe" to get ides of madness.
