Trump has a knack of picking money off someone else's tree, so never lose hope! Have an happy April Fool's Day as you made mine! Aloha! Rico

Ha! So much delight from the Queen of Fun on April Fool's Day. A happy day to you as well, as we fill our thoughts with humour and playful words. Love the image, too! Hugs ~ John

I had forgotten all about April's fool, Jan! From experience I've learnt that it is not wise to go by what the bank advices...which reminds me of Bitcoins and other Cryptocurrency!! Stay safe my friend. Hugs // paul

Normally a country goes to war once it's in debt of 901 million, Cameron took us well past that, then there is Brexit, but; I do like what Boris is doing for the workers, a first, I must say, or just cheaper against a riotous country if he didn't, try burning a green candle around white rice, to bring money, I hear that works . . . : )

I was caught this morning, told Boris had resigned lol. Talking of money trees, funny how our government suddenly found one, saying for years there was no money and cutting essential services. Tom

oh I missed that news but nothing would surprise me in the current climate and this poem was inspired by our government managing to pull millions out of a hat:-) hugs jan xx
