Happy April Fool's Fun

Did you know that April Fool's Day began in 1582 when Pope Gregory XIII ordered a new (Gregorian) calendar? It changed New Year from April to January.

Those who refused to accept the new change were known as fools and people often played pranks on them.

Laughter and jokes maintain our physical and mental health.  A chuckle releases oxytocin, dopamine and endorphins. All the feel good chemicals help us stay healthy and energize our relationship to others.


Why are spiders so smart?  They're always searching the web.


Why is the elbow always happy?  It's connected to the funny bone.


Why did the duck go to the gym?  He needed more eggs-ercise.

Why can't you trust an atom?   They make up everything.

Discover smiles and laughter everywhere.

Where is the Poem?

 

Become a puppeteer and dangle observations on nature’s stage, eavesdrop on human nature and add emotion. Search for surprises and how the man-made world and nature co-exist or conflict. A reciprocity develops in personal ideas and philosophy danced upon the outside world and then pulled back inside.


I
f it’s hiding
search for it
in a spider’s dream
or web of twilight.

You might find one
in lemony shadows
that attach to ladybugs

Consider it
in the moon’s crackle
blinking past pines.

Discover moments
before stars sprinkle
dusk with a promise
of what we most need


Sunset's Bouncy Play
