THE COURT JESTERS'S LAST REPORT TO THE KING by Jack Prelutsky
	Oh, Sire! My Sire! your castle's on fire. I fear it's about to explode. A hideous lizard has eaten the wizard... The Prince has turned into a toad. Oh, Sire! Good Sire! there's woe in the shire, Fierce trolls are arriving in force. There are pirates in port, monstrous ogres at court, And a dragon has melted your horse. Oh, Sire! Great Sire! the tiding are dire. A giant has trampled the school, Your army has fled, there are bees in your bed And your nose has come off...APRIL FOOL!
