April Fools!
I find myself recalling . . .
Grade school, most likely.
April 1st, we thought we'd
died and gone to heaven.
I recall a principal, a very
grave man. I pinned a note
on his suit coat, "I'm a gost."
I thought I was probably the
bravest kid on the planet.
He felt it, obviously, pulled
it off and said to me, "You
spelled ghost wrong." Wow!
I planned this one; walked
into the kitchen and said,
"Eek a mouse." Mom jumped,
dad started pulling off his belt
and I shouted, "April Fools!"
Dad looked at mom and said,
"Are you okay with this?" She
said something along the lines
of, "As long as it's April Fools
and doesn't happen again!"
Lucky escape! Today, methinks
the joke's on us. Piles of snow
everywhere you look and it's
supposed to snow all day.
Can't help but wonder if the
gods aren't whispering . . .
April Fools!
