This might seem weird to some. Bit April fool’s day makes me a little sad. It’s a day of jokes and I love pranks. Pulled one off last week on a colleague to great delight.
I got that love of pranks from my mother. She took great pleasure in planning elaborate pranks, especially on April Fool’s day. She would giggle and be so happy with herself. And, even though we knew a prank was coming she always managed to fool us. It was the best.
Thus, today I miss her pranking and I grieve a little more. But please go out and prank and find great delight in such an activity.

Ah Yes April Fred’s Day Always
Celebrated As A Fool in Life From
Stuttering in School As A Boy Mistaken
For A Girl At McDonald’s At 12 Called
Bird Legs By the Girls As Truly
i couldn’t Leg Press
1520 Pounds
at 13 or 21
or 53 or 58
As i do Up to that Weight
Today And True too Vickie on the
Bus Taunted me With Chants of Look
Look At His Eyelashes They Look Just
Like Eyelashes of a Girl With His Green
To Changing Blue Eyes too and Yes
The Bully Boy Christian Thugs
Threatened to Physically
Assault me for
Daring to
Smile at the City
Park or Even in Middle
School Hall Ways As ‘Like Sheldon’
Cooper Named as ‘Mr Peabody’ too
i was so very excited about Learning all
About the World New it just didn’t make Sense
Not Many Other Folks Wanted to Learn All the Book
Stuff it seemed they just wanted to compete to see who
was the Most Popular and the Best at Sports always a competition
To Defeat Someone
Else and Drive
In their Rich
Parent’s
Cars with
Air-conditioning
And Heat oh the Luxuries
They Enjoyed Like Color TV too…
Yes in my Middle School Year Book it seemed
Rather Fitting as they Signed My Name to the
Elder Lunch Lady’s Cameo Pic With Clown
Mask With Fred at Least it isn’t the other
F Word they Named Besides Fool
Who Eats
Dry
Dog Food
Oh Lord Let me tell You
It Didn’t end there
Even working
for the Military Folks
Said Why in the World Are You So
Nice when i mentioned i was the Manager
They said oh that must be why.. and true i was
So Kind to Employees and never fired anyone
Superiors Beyond Reproach suggested i wore
Pink Underwear to Be So Nice that way
And True they called me so
Soft i should Have
Been Born
As A Woman
Even in my Forties too…
Yet it’s True it didn’t Hurt too much
as i married the Beautiful Woman Who
at close to 51still is the Fairest American
Indian Pacific Islander Irish American Real
Princess in Town
Funny how
Some
Folks Said
i Stepped in Cr8p
And managed to come up
Smelling Like Roses Every Fall
True the last one took a while as 66 Months
in Hell Shut-in with the worst Pain known to
Humankind will and it seemed they hated me
Always for Being Smart and Having Good Luck that way…
Yet You Know what the Only Days in my Whole Life That i literally
Felt Like Fool as a Pejorative is when all that Stress Chronically Acutely
Eventually took My ability to Feel And Share A Smile with anyone at all
My HeART Died
My Spirit No Longer Breathed
My Soul Dived Deep into the Pits of Hell For ReaL ON Earth
The Only Fool i for one Truly See is one that finds themselves
Separated from Love as they Just didn’t Know How to Say No
Before it is too
Late and
Black
Abyss Night
Souls Linger For
Years and Months More…
Anyway i Celebrate all those Who Did their Damndest
And Even Succeeded in Helping to take me to Hell
As Now i Proudly
Make April 1st
My Day
As You
Damn Straight
The Biggest Prank is when
The Fool Goes to Hell and gets
Out in Heaven And Dances And
Sings the Days and Nights Away
Naked Holy And Sacred That
No Real Fool Will
Take Away
i’ve also named
This Day “Clown Shark Arrives”
After that the Shark Meme took off hehe
And “Return of the Clown Shark Part 2”
Last Year Before So Much Deadly
Pandemic Ignorance
Still Brings
Death
to So
Many Folks in that
Sad Avenue oF iGNoRaNCE Still
This Year it’s Just “Shine Inner Princess
Master Shadow Same” As It’s the Strangest
Thing As Soon as i Let my Inner Princess Truly
Shine Free in Grace of Balance With Foundation of
Love With Will And Strength Not Until then did i become
Mostly Both the Most Loving And Strongest Dude With Will
And Grace to Enter Any Room or Place of Life True Most
Days
i Master
my Shadow
too Not always
Yet Most Days True
Yes i am A Fool For Love
Always Was Always Will be i am..
Smiles my Mother Never Played Pranks
Yet my Father Did Make Fun of me too
As True When i fell down He Made
Fun of me being in charge of
So Many People Before
True He Never
Got to Supervise
Anyone at the end and i never wanted to…
True Then When my Only Child Ryan was in
The Operating Room Only to Live 51 Days
My Father Said Raise Him Like a Man
Alluding to my Mother Didn’t
Do A Good Enough
Job When
He Left
At 3 for
i became LoVE INSTeaD
And True it wasn’t Until i Fully
Released My Inner Princess that
I became a Martial Artist No one Dares Cross
Yet i strike no Objects i only do it to increase Grace
of Balance removing all Fear Loving even more yeah
It’s true i really do feel like a Man now i doubt my Father
ever really did…
It’s okay
to be
A Fool
As Long
As We are A Fool For Love
True though Put Fearless
And Love Together and
That’s How Real Heroes are made
i don’t mind admitting to be a Hero or A Fool
For Love Same for At Essence That indeed is
Who a Hero is
As they
Casually
Give Their
Life to everyone else….
True not everyone wants that
Yet Some Folks at Least Suggest they Truly do…:)
