April Fools, verse # 2

Happy April Fools Day…

For centuries, at the start of spring,
when the flowers begin to bloom,
some souls take pride in a ritual
of playing jokes on fools,
but when all is said and done
and laughter has ended the game,
the ones at risk of looking the fool
are the ones who play the pranks,
so with all in mind on this April day,
the wish I wish for you,
on the first, this day of hoax,
is a safe and happy April Fool’s.
