I Pity the April Fool

Who’ll be the April fool?

Someone we thought was cool?
Someone who wages war?
Someone whose face is sore?
April fools thrive on showers,
don’t even care for flowers,
may have sought insurrection,
acted without reflection.
April fools think ‘play ball’
means hear the master’s call.
April fools will never say
what happened on that day,
hoping it goes away
any time short of May.
