RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS
Day of Fools
This is the day of fools
A day to tip your cap
To those who broke the rules
Just to make us laugh
They helped us get through school
By giving us a grin
That often lasted days
When laughter was a sin
We learned another way
And it was all okay
This is the day of fools
A day to turn it upside down
The kind becomes the cruel
A smile becomes a frown
The day will someday come
When horses will be hounds
The loud will be struck dumb
The fool will wear the crown
And all will be made well
The stories we will tell
It is the day of fools
Who speak in cryptic rhyme
Who always keep their cool
In the best and worst of times
They will always make us think
With wonder in our minds
What is the missing link?
What have we left behind?
So tip your cap and drink
To fools always be kind
(Happy Fools Day!)
