Best April fool's day poem 2018

When it's April Fools Day, you

better beware. There's so many

pranksters, lurking out there.

They're waiting to bait you, with

stories so bold. To see your

expression, on what you were

told. If they get a reaction, they'll

consider you real cool. They'll

blurt out and say...April Fool!

Through the course of the day,

you can be sure others, will be

ready to pounce on you. Be a

good sport and have a retort,

enjoy the moment too!

- Audrey Heller

"The maple syrup's full of ants.

A mouse is creeping on the shelf.

Is that a spider on your back?

I ate the whole pie by myself.

The kitchen sink just overflowed.

A flash flood washed away the school.

I threw your blanket in the trash.

I never lie—I—

April Fool!"

- Myra Cohn Livingston

“The first of April, some do say

Is set apart for All Fool's Day;

But why the people call it so

Nor I, nor they themselves, do know,

But on this day are people sent

On purpose for pure merriment."
