It's April Fools today.
Thought a laugh I would relay.
As child of nine or ten,  was given some astounding news.
Heard news from my teacher, a wild Mrs Knight.
She relayed a curious tale.
The tale of the ***** gentleman, who maybe being a mental man.
Rode Victoria Falls from top to bottom fast.
Mrs Knight she told us, that black man washed out pure white.
Finding this rather hard to believe.
That a teacher could her class deceive.
She was a yarpie, sung her story as wild harpy.
I remember very clearly the image of Mrs Knight.
With the face of a teabag and blazing red hair flaming bright.
Teachers in training always beware.
Ex pupils remember your lessons.
Years after they were there!
