First of April
All fools day
Knock the door
and run away!
Wind hands back
On all the clocks
Tie a knot
in daughters socks!
Make the tea
but make it cold
Use some milk
that’s one week old!
Dial a friend
And shout ‘surprise -
Its Lotto here
You’ve won a prize!’
Tell your son
he’s got a spot
Upon his nose
Although he’s not!
Pretend the kids
are late for school
When they rush
shout ‘April Fool!’
listen here
My, my ...Keith....that was one cute poem...
