The Easter bunny mad to tell
who came first the egg or chicken
cooked them both in mama’s kitchen
got no answer still he ate well.

Lynne

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.

Lynne

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

Lynne

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

Lynne

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

Lynne

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.
