My oldest brother came up with a plan
For tomorrow's April Fools day for the clan.
He replaced the sugar in the bowl with salt.
It was a simple plan, but it had a fault
On April first he was the first to rise.
He found his strategy wasn't so wise:
He wanted cereal, and wanted it sweet,
So he spooned some salt into his shredded wheat.
He found out the joke was very cruel,
When he became his own April fool.
Your memory is ALMOST correct. I did NOT replace the sugar in the bowl with salt. I just carefully added one teaspoon of salt to the top of the sugar in the bowl.
That a beautiful creation written with a tinge of humour. I like your style of writing, Spock. Thanks for sharing and do remain enriched.
Nothing like falling into one's own trap, Spock the Vegan....A memorable poem

Ha ha ha ha ha! That is great! Your brother sure fooled himself with that trick! Another great poem, maybe your best yet. I have voted it a ten.
