April 1st

Today’s a day to break the rules For mischief reigns – it’s April Fools’! It’s time for silliness and pranks, Though Easter may be pulling ranks And also, we should not forget That Passover’s not over yet. This April 1st you get to choose – Forsake all bread like many Jews Or don your bonnet and parade Where Easter finery’s displayed Or lastly, with a little poke, Go out and play a harmless joke. It isn’t often these converge So take a chance – give in and splurge. A dozen eggs will do the trick – Just dye or boil – take your pick. That covers both religions’ use And as for April Fools’ – let loose!
