Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Noah Fooling

April Fool's Day - where did it start?
Theories abound in that regard.
Some say that Noah played a part.
Mister raven was a rogue card -
A troublemaker on the ark.
On what would become April first,
Noah ordered to disembark,
The male raven. Then Noah cursed
The raven line by holding back
The female raven, so he thought,
Which really was a dove dyed black.
Both the ravens flew free and begat.

Noah saw red and lost his cool,
Becoming the first April fool.
