April Fool Joke

by HarryT

Back when I was a teacher in a middle school Decided to play an April Fool prank Fill the coffee machine with a strong espresso Instead of the usual Folgers decaffeinated brand   In walked Mrs. Rubin, our assistant principal She filled her giant thermos cup to the brim Took a sip and then two big gulps Her face lit up with a devilish grin   "Wow!” she said, “What a great new blend” She sat and enjoyed and refilled her cup “I feel so energetic, ready for brand new day” To her office she went, announced over the PA…   “I will be doing performance evaluations today” She visited classrooms at a frantic pace After school, in our mailbox was an appointed time When she wished to discuss her classroom observation   Next morning I filled the coffee maker with decaf I indeed had learned a significant lesson That being, an April Fool joke can backfire Leaving the joker a bigger fool after all
