First of April

The first of April, some do say,

Is set apart for All Fool's Day,

But why the people call it so,

Nor I, nor they themselves, do know,

But on this day are people sent,

On purpose for pure merriment.

-Poor Robin's Almanac (1790)

April Fool

Small April sobbed, I'm going to cry,

Please give me a cloud to wipe my eye,

Then April Fool, she laughed instead,

And smiled a rainbow overhead.

October

The Month is October
With Leaves Falling Down
(flutter fingers)

That were once all

Yellow, Scarlet, and Brown
