Fooling Around

April First
Such a wonderful day
Cusp of Spring
Easter just passed
That was yesterday
Awakened to
Utter Tom Foolery
When we were kids
Making terrible jokes
Why did the moron
Do you have Prince Albert
In a can
Then let him out
Pranks on the school bus
Tack on teacher’s chair
Whoopie cushions
Farts on elevators
Mad Hatter’s ball
Happy unbirthday
Played for a fool
Butt of the joke
Not that much fun
Won’t get fooled again
Who am I to say
Only the owl
Knows for sure
Fool on the hill
I am the walrus
Goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob
Goo goo a'joob g'goo goo g'joob, g'goo
Joob! Joob! Joob!

Quote from
Hugo Ball
Sound poet
Café Voltaire
Zurich Dada
Sublime foolishness
Reaction to war
The ultimate folly
Orchestrated by
Politicians and
Buffoons
The arts buried
In Flanders field
