To the Weather Man,

10 the weather Man.
The first day Of April has frolicked and
fed.
We've borne with good nature the pranks
that 1t bred;
But stern disapproval tis proper to show
Toward the people who drag the festivities
Let US yield that one day to delusions so
gay;
But the rest of the year let's have plain
yea and nay;
'Tis time were loosed from this flip
pancy's yoke.
For there isn't much fun in a practical
joke.
In print they announce the arrival of
spring,
But the air proves the season, alas, no
such thing,
With ribbons and bloom to make merry we
sped,
But the mercury dropped like a sinker of
lead.
Oh, mystical being, afar in the tower,
So wise about weather abuse not your
power.
Each surprise you may mean as a jovial
stroke,
But there isn't much fun in a practical
Joke,
