A LITTLE APRIL FOOL
One day in the midst
Of an April shower.
This dear little girl
Was missed for an hour.
And under the trees
And over the grass,
We all went hunting
The little lost lass.
We found her at last
Where two walls met,
A-looking naughty
And a-dripping wet.
"I was April-fooling,"
She softly said;
And down she dropped
A shamed little head.
