THE  APRIL  FOOL’S  JOKE

By Dean Beaty  3/31/09

Today is April fool’s day.

Upon what soul a joke I’ll play?

My wife is always close at hand.

She’ll not see what I have planned.

A juicy bit of chilling news,

Will put her in the depths of blues.

Then I’ll give that well known clue,

“April fool, the jokes on you.”

And as I get up off the floor

From whence I gotten up before.

She will say, “I’m sorry dear.

I act the same way every year.”

When will I learn to speak, then duck?

And not get hit by her Mac truck.
