April Fool

I didn’t go to school

For fear, I’d be made a fool

Only, I could fool everyone, by rule

I thought I was funny, very cool!

     My best friend invited me to his party

     I knew he would ‘April Fool’ me dirty

     I had another friend, very arty-arty

     I auctioned his blank canvas and had a laugh, hearty!

Little did I guess, the party was for real

How I rued, the bid went for real

I fooled myself and said ‘YOU APRIL FOOL’

It was a Sunday, there was no school!
