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.

Shenanigans and gags are fun
But they won’t work on everyone.
A jester has to know his crowd
To gauge what mischief is allowed.

Some people laugh off everything
While others suffer teasing’s sting.
On April Fools Day, even money
Says some pranks won’t come off funny.

Certain antics will appeal;
Others, though, will soon reveal
That what hits one man’s funny bone
May cause another to be thrown.

What a fun, delightful poem. I didn't have any pranks pulled on me today, except I did have one appointment that the woman who was supposed to come didn't show up. Maybe I should count that.
ReplyDeleteJust for an idea, did you consider using moan or groan as your last rhyming word? "Another may frown and groan."
