They say
because this is a Leap Year
that April Fools’ Day
should be celebrated on April 2
but I think
rather
it should be celebrated
– if pranks can be celebrated at all –
on March 31.

Can we?
Can we all just agree
that the pranks were done
yesterday?
And can we further agree
that that agreement
is not in itself
a prank?

I do not like to be tricked
you see.
I do not like it at all.
