Poisson D'avril


Once again the first of April
That tricky day we get each year
Where the prankster on the warpath
A catch you napping racketeer

This year in particular
Be on the lookout more aware
The April jape will mouth agape
Trap you in a foolish snare

You may believe your worldly
Been more than once around the block
That you’re the sort who can’t be caught
The wisest black sheep in the flock

Watch out for memes and bloody schemes
Where unbelievably you rage
Retweeting myths from troll-like gifs
Who send you screaming off the page

So watch out for the off-guard piece
Designed to show you up less cool
Quoting stuff a blatant bluff
To leave you clearly April’s Fool

Q. Who was the first April Fool of biblical proportions?

A. Adam, when he was ribbed by God while sleeping.
