Happy April Fool's Day


I came across this on the internet:


Poor Robin's Almanac for 1790: -
The first of April, some do say
Is set apart for All Fools' Day;
But why the people call it so
Nor I, nor they themselves, do know,
But on this day are people sent
On purpose for pure merriment!

And immediately thought of a far better version, if I may be so bold:

The first of April, some do say
Is set apart for All Fools' Day;
But why the people call it so
Nor I, nor they themselves, do know,
But on this day the biggest fools are sent:
To sit on their fattened butts in parliament!
