This is all I could find...never heard of it before.
"My mother was well versed in all the old sayings and we had to say "hares" as our last word on the last day of the month and then "rabbits" as our first word of the new month. Nowadays it's the more sadistic "Pinch and a punch for the first of the month". It is presumably just to make the change of the month more memorable."
