NaPoWriMo 2016 , Day One -- Wild Today, a poem for April Fools Day
The Joker
The Joker is wild today
Obnoxious in every way
There's no way to reign him in
This day lying's not a sin
Every year come April First
To trick you good he will burst
Society says be cool
Joker's prank it's April Fool

I hate, hate April Fools Day, but this was a fun little poem, Jim. Don't like pranks of any kind, but you brought me a smile in spite of it, and thanks! Happy PAD, Amy
You're right. On this day we have licence.
Love this! On April 1st we celebrate lying. lol
I absolutely detest April's Fools... Basically since I am so naive I get fooled left, right and centre. This poem, however, is no joke! Really well done!
