Latin used Ad nauseum
Has me stumped and mystified
Pointless use of clever speak
Like ‘Ergo’ leaves less than fortified
On a point of ipso facto
I feel left out in the cold
No longer in the status quo
Exempli gratia oversold
Why use caveat emptor
To warn a buyer to beware
When the warning isn’t understood
Pro rata difficult to bear
Once again, that April day
Initially sounds cool
Look out for jokes and early pokes
In case you are the April fool
Not a day for gullibility
Be watchful for that folly
That lulls you into dumb acceptance
Where all seriousness is jolly
A prankster coax, a silly hoax
Designed for taking in
The easy kind of simple mind
With a Cheshire Cat-like grin
AI Version
Once again, that April day
A time for laughter
light, and play.
But watch for pranks
A sly surprise,
Disguised in innocent guise
Beware the fool
The simple jest,
That tests your wit
Puts you to test.
Don't fall for tricks
Or silly scheme,
Wake from this laughter-filled dream.
A prankster's coax
A playful hoax,
A Cheshire grin
A hidden crooks.
To catch the unwary
Kind and mild,
With laughter bright
A charming style.
