Sense Sonnet - Tickler

For Whom the Bell Tolls?

April first, 1996
There appeared a newspaper ad
Across the land that did transfix
The U.S., making many mad.
Taco Bell, fast food company,
Announced it was able to buy
The Liberty Bell so there'd be
Less national debt - so said why.
The ad of course caused an uproar.
Many did not take it too well,
And really were not looking for
Renamed Taco Liberty Bell.

The ad upset a lot of folk,
Even though an April Fools' joke.
