Do Not Try

Do not try to trick me

with your foolish ways

I am not in the mood

There is enough

nonsense in this world

for us to deal with

without you launching missiles

instead of dealing with your own

dirty laundry

How many more lives

have to be destroyed?

Had you not done enough

before entering the office?

Remember the boy who cried wolf?

What became of him?

Thoughts

Not many jokes this April Fools what with all the death, destruction and world instability. We act like this is unusual but really it has always been this way. The only difference is that once upon a time the king would be in the fight rather than golfing or visiting Disneyland.

Harlaxton Manor, built by Gregory Gregory. I wonder if his middle name was also Gregory?
