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!
