Do we really need a day
to honor being the fool
when we act the part
already nearly every day?
I feel the timing is wrong
we need to move this
instead of April 1st
it should be in November
The first tuesday will do
then perhaps for a change
we would fall for the prank
and elect a worthy one
I made a pledge to myself to write a poem a day for the entire year. Now to follow through. I preface this with a reminder; most of the poems written for this year long project will be done so spontaneously and therefore will not be edited. Bear with me on this. The project goal is to get them written over getting them perfect. Several times there will simply be the poem with no title. When that happens suggestions for a title will be welcomed in the comments.
Now, aren't you just the most clever one...to draw me in with the April Fool's theme. I was all hunkered down some lighthearted humor. Then, it became all dark and political. Then,you left me with a final smile...What a ride, all in three stanzas!!!
