This Morning

This morning, on my walk, there were Two zebras on the grass. A huge gorilla blocked my way And wouldn’t let me pass. But luckily, a UFO Appeared; as it alit, The terrified gorilla Quickly made a run for it. The aliens aboard invited Me to take a ride And I was blown away By all the gadgetry inside. We headed through the Milky Way And it was quite a thrill To see the earth below us - Oh, what pride it did instill! This morning’s taught me more That what I’ve learned in all my schools. I’m guessing that you’ve figured out Today is April Fools’!

Ilene....I was hoping it was a true story! You are so very clever and a real pleasure to be here. This was so much fun, I read it to my wife....and we're both laughing!

Another depiction of a normal day in the life of Ilene… not! Gave me a laugh as the best I managed was to look out of my kitchen window, gasp and say, “Crikey, I’ve never seen a platypus in England.” Anne’s son rushed over, but cottoned on after a few steps… so it worked a bit. Enjoyed your April foolery

Your poem made me laugh. If only it were true and you among the stars. Perhaps the gorilla and zebras are jealous of your deftness with words.
