Be aware after you’re dressed
and sun’s started to shine
what the day is and what month you’re in.
You may find there’s much ruthlessness
that is about to unwind;
you’ll hear and see things that make your head spin.

Mocking sprees occur on April 1st;
much you see and hear ain’t true.
Mocking sprees are what with you’ll be cursed,
so watch out for what might ensue.

There will always be someone
who’ll pull across your eyes
the wool metaphorically.
If you fall for it, you’re disgraced
and win the booby prize—
the joker will laugh hysterically.

Mocking sprees occur on April 1st;
people will play tricks on you.
Mocking sprees come at you in a burst,
so watch out for what might ensue.

Perhaps you’ll discover
too late that a friend
engaged in mendacity
and it’s at your expense.
“Damn, he made a chump of me!”
you’ll exclaim, feel dense.
“Oh, no!” you’ll woe.

All this is inspiring me
to go have a turn
and perpetrate a cruelest-month con.
With straight face and opacity
I am going to make ’em squirm
as I pull pranks all day from start of dawn.

Mocking sprees occur on April 1st;
table’s turn, now my purview’s
mocking sprees; when I’m done, you’ll have cursed
and burst out, “Your tricks don’t amuse!”
