Lirpa Loof

To fool or not to fool?

This is some question.

Whether it's nobler to eschew

before swallowing,

or to foment indigestion

by placing plastic vomit on the table

just to enable a goofy tradition;

or worse,

to spend two hours on a fool's expedition

in verse?

Better to be probed by aliens in a flying saucer

or intone the prologue to The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer:

"Whan that Aprille with his shoures soote

The drought of March (that's a good one) hath percéd to the roote..."

But April

Come she will

Whether in folly

Or in a trolley.

So meet her jocosely,

morosely

Or comatosely.

Whatever you do,

the joke,s on you!

Lirpa loof, Lirpa loof,

Wear an evolg on your toof;

Sprinkle oopmahs in their doof.

When they gag, say "LIRPA LOOF!"

Just kidding.
