I  woke this morning ready to say, “April Fool!”
But my heart isn’t in the mood, it’s the 31^st.
The day’s young, though, so I can work on it
And find something that’s really cool.
But, the longer the day wanes away
And I keep thinking about all the jokes there are
No matter, though, ‘cause my heart’s just not into it
And what I want to say.
This doesn’t make me special or even very nice
Because of what I’ve been able to say in the past
To “zing” others, but my heart’s not working along that vane
And I’m not one who adds sugar and spice
To whatever he says anyway.
So, I going to forget about the whole thing
And just concentrate on what I want to say
And make people feel nice no matter what I say.
