April Fools' Day Cat
A cat on April Fools’, sleek and cool,
Found itself in a rather wet duel.
With a splash and a splosh,
In a fishbowl, it did wash,
Proving even a feline can be a fool!

April fools day ordinarily all manner of tomfoolery abounds
April fools' day - ordinarily all manner of tomfoolery abounds
Written/updated since last year
unlike any other
when out of this world
outlandish accouterments
people did wear
hermetically sealed
of even faintest tear
to avoid contamination
against coronavirus pandemic
air supply difficult to spare
when wing and prayer
soul saving amazing grace
frankly against scalpers, marauders,
and fraudsters steeling
themselves to profiteer.
Pandemic straps tightly

April Fools
I wanted to pen this verse from yesterday but the temperature kept rising all day; I wanted to pen this verse from yesterday but the traffic kept flowing my way. Hundreds of cars flooded the street forming curved lines, parallel lines, horizontal lines, diagonal lines, straight lines and zigzag lines. They travel in and around

April Fools' Day
Today’s a time for breaking rules
And telling jokes and playing pranks,
Since it’s the day of April Fools;
For warning you, I need no thanks.
Just be aware of what you hear
Or what you see or even read.
On April Fools’ the atmosphere
May swirl around with smiles we need.
The weather even seems confused –
First rain, then sun and

April Fools
April is the month for fools,
At least today, the first,
When pranks are played and joking rules
As logic is reversed.
It’s been around for many years,
Observed both here and there,
With hoaxes ending not in tears
But laughter meant to share.
To get in spirit, pull a gag
To fool your kith or kin.
Shake off those doldrums - time to

April Showers and Fools
At the beginning of April,
We hear two things:
Joking around,
And hopping into spring
The "April Fools" concept,
It's a bit of a mess...
Everyone trying to
Exhibit some "finesse".
I've indeed been pranked,
At least once today.
But I don't think it's funny,
In the same type of way.
The second foolish aspect
It that "May flowers" will come.
But I live in Michigan,
So that's a little

April Fools For Bobby Lee
“Just when he thought he’d had all he could take,
April arrived like a careless mistake.”
From DRIVING DIXIE DOWN by Anonymous Brown
Smithstonian Folkways Recordings catalogue # 317-704-1106
When something is broken, it’s no longer of any use
Once you’ve given up trying to fix it.
When April came, I was no longer of any use.
I was still marching,

April Fool
There you are my April Fool
You're meant to be as me
When you can say you're only truth
is that you're left to be
When only you can say you're proof
of what was meant to be
When only you can say the truth
is that you're taught by we
