A Pranksters Prank


Nigel went to school one day
Thought he’d play a prank per say
Put glue on to the teachers chair
Told the others stand back and beware.

Nigel looked out the window as she came in

Today’s the day that mayhem rules
For pranksters known as April fools.
Through jest and folly they’ll provoke
And hope that all can take a joke.

But they won’t work on everyone.
