April Fools

A local business sent out mail
Which said, "We're all for Trump!"
I questioned if a nod from them
Would give a welcome bump.

But underneath the banner cry
The note said, "April Fools!
However, there's free shipping
When you order by the rules."

I chuckled at this little prank
But wondered if that poke
Would be perceived by Donald fans
As just a little joke.
