OH HAVE YOU HEARD

Oh have you heard it's time for vaccinations?
I think someone put salt into your tea.
They're giving us eleven-month vacations.
And Florida has sunk ito the sea.
Oh have you heard 
The President has measles?
The principal has just
burned down the school.
Your hair is full of ants
and purple weasels--
APRIL FOOL!!
~ Shel Silverstein
