April Showers and Fools

At the beginning of April, We hear two things: Joking around, And hopping into spring The "April Fools" concept, It's a bit of a mess... Everyone trying to Exhibit some "finesse". I've indeed been pranked, At least once today. But I don't think it's funny, In the same type of way. The second foolish aspect It that "May flowers" will come. But I live in Michigan, So that's a little dumb. So, in the end I really don't understand. Why April even exists I say it be banned...

Great poem. I, too, deplore all you mentioned. It’s a pinheaded act to set a prank on someone, not to mention, plain dumb. Your last paragraph is a true killer. You...pack no punches. Pangiexo

I know what you mean, Bridget--especially when you have to wait in Michigan to cheer springs blossoms. I guess, for many--it's the joy of escaping winter and stepping into spring. I don't care for the April fool jokes either.
