Holiday History Mystery

Most common theory
going 'round
for the day we all
become a clown
is that the calendar
was turned upside down

Changed the calendar
so shame on you
for not knowing
the year's already new
April Fool is must be you!

Hilaria hysteria
in days of old
play tricks on the emperor
if you're bold

It's now
Roman laughing day
or so I'm told
pranks it would seem
never grow old

Colorful dyes
get in the mix
Holi is the holiday
for the Hindu fix
jokes and frivolity
colorful ticks
Even non Hindu
join the mix

And here's another
day to prank
Sizdahbedar
The Persians thank
for being able to
play and prank

Common theme
seen 'round the world
pranks by grown ups
boys and girls
time for laughter
jokes and joy
from every girl
and every boy
Play a prank
and show us how
the time for
laughter
would be now
