Tomfoolery

Just who did this to me?
I don’t know how it could be.
Was it all just a prank?
Because this trick really stank.
Am I the ultimate fool?
If I am, this is uncool.
This giant joke is on me.
Something everyone can see.
“Your shoe’s untied,” they all say.
For I’m the joke today:
I’m born on April Fool’s Day.

A battle with multiple sclerosis has caused her to find her home in a nursing home, where she has found time to craft her poetry as well as time to teach writing to other residents. She has been published in several literary magazines and anthologies, including Ohio Bards and The Walt Whitman Anthology.
