The Joke is on US<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Until more notice
\nApril Fool\u2019s Day
\nWill be
\nX tended
\nIn definitely
\nWithout end
\nAccept
\nIts many means
\nEnriching the rich
\nRepresenting the national deficit
\nServing as tribute to the ridiculously loaded
\nDrinking it in
\nThose hims of preys
\nAnd fixation on enemas
\nThe on going
\nSlap stick
\nWill it
\nPeter out
\nWithout the humor
\nShort-term pleasures
\nOr long-term benefits
\nAs sow base
\nNever enough
\nImpugn-y crimes
\nA quit
\nUntil our renouncement
\nOn the take
\nA bate
\nThe joke is on US<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
