Kickass, the doorstop dog, turns this April Fools Day over to the keeper:

   THE APRIL FOOL

   “Who’s the biggest April fool?

“Not me, not you, we’re cool.

       “Is it Elon Musk as the loan arranger

“Buying votes as the foreign stranger?

       “Is it one of the new Cabinet folks,

Killing with stupidity and classified jokes?

         “Could it be the man with orange hair,

“Homeless in the White House without a care?

         “Issuing orders that cause misery and hurt

“Telling hungry voters: ‘You’ll learn to like dirt.’

          “The April Fool, as Pogo might suggest 

“Is all of us on this election day test.

             “Look there at us in the voting booth

“Are we being cool or acting uncouth?”

             “’Look, Mom, there’s a unicorn out on the lawn!’

“APRIL FOOL!!!!!!”
