April Fools’ Day
A friend of mine I thought was cool
Just called me an “April Fool”.
“That isn’t fair,” I said when we talked,
But he tried to trip me as we walked.
He said he’d eaten dog food and now he was sick.
I didn’t know if he was pulling a trick.
And I don’t know how he got a mousetrap,
But he threw it down and it slammed with a “Snap!”
He wanted me to join in his pranks,
But I frowned at him and said, “No, thanks.”
“Come on, I’ll show you,” he eagerly beckoned,
But he’s the fool, it’s April the second.
