April 1st 1983 - The Original April Fool

(Note: Grandad LOVED April Fool's Day; he pranked me every year!)

There’s a fool born every minute

That’s what P.T. Barnum said

I don’t think that we’re all stupid

We’re just feeble in the head

We really are a jolly bunch

I’ll say in our defense

And I’m sure I’m just as happy

As if I’d been blessed with good sense

If I’d been an extra-smart kid

I’d probably be a millionaire

But this way I’m free from worry

I don’t even have a care

I don’t try to hold a job down

And I’m not an old deadbeat

I don’t draw no unemployment

All I do is sleep and eat
