I woke up in my bed one morning,
Going to school, which I was not longing.
It was dark and stormy outside,
So I wanted to enjoy the warmth inside.
I decided to tell mom,
“I’m sick! I don’t want to go out in the storm.”
Mom said, “Stop telling lies dear,
Otherwise Santa may not bring any gifts this year.”
So I quickly brushed my teeth and had a shower,
Thinking about my life and how it’s a horror.
Then I had breakfast and went to my bus stop
Realizing my brain was a total flop.
It dawned on me that it was a Saturday
Oh yeah, and also April Fools Day.
–Vaishnavi KV
