A fool’s joke isn’t so funny
if the joker laughs the longest
leaving the fool feeling dumbest
mad to tell the Easter bunny.

Apologies to gentlefolk
this attempt at April Fools play
was to wait the following day
but now that seems no foolish joke.

When my life turns counterclockwise
I forget the calendar date
and write my four lines one day late
and for that I apologize.

Sometimes I kneel in compromise
inclined to recline with my fate
but other times I just can’t wait
to turn my life counterclockwise.

When jabbed by dark cold hell I feel
my heart dance wild jigs with my gut
and I work to stay upright but
sometimes I compromise and kneel.

for we all know that different
is more than an accomplishment
it’s the prod that makes all things move.

would we be likely to settle

or prove like to like is worth naught.

have only thoughts themselves to blame
or such the self-help books do claim
but none of us think as we ought.

A swift hard kick I should have earned
when I hurled bigger words at them
but it’s so much fun to condemn
those who were taught but never learned.

Four Lines
I opened my mouth far too quick
let thoughts escape thick and plenty
none of them worth a thin penny
yet I still earned a swift hard kick.
