April Fool’s Day Prank - A Poem
Great wit have they who succeed at pranking others,
They not only plan it with hindsight, foresight and insight;
But also with great vision and a sense of mission.
They jealously guard the prank and keep it a secret,
Knowing that the prank’s end is to liven up a life,
And the means to the end is the joke on the subject.
In being playful and malicious, the average pranker is mean,
By being practical and meaningful, the good pranker is caring,
For being purposeful and masterful, the great pranker is wise.
Therefore prank away ye April Fools Day zealots,
Let your antics inspire happiness to the mundane,
May this day provide lots of glee to those who fall for the pranks.
