You will notice that today, July 18, I posted several "Daily" poems. When out of town, I have trouble finding internet access. I still write them daily, it just takes time to post them. Speaking of day 18-

True Quartina, in Iambic Pentameter. This one even rhymes. Here’s to jokes!

A practical joke, a banana slip

Can make the best genius into a fool

Be sure and be careful lest you do trip

Instead of Joe, and make you lose your cool.

A Joe, or John, or pawn starts out so cool

Until a prank is sent their way. Don’t slip!

A practical joke can make you a fool

On April Fool’s Day, watch out lest you trip.

A joke can be funny until you trip

A pun or riddle can seem so cool

But sometimes a jokester can really slip

It can really turn you into a fool.

So watch it, jokester, don’t be a fool

Prepare puns and be ready for a trip

Yes, run away from those who lost their cool.

Go on, be ready to give them the slip.

Banana peel to slip on April Fool

Or shoelaces to trip may still be cool.
