Hello God!

Thank You for the 1st of April. In France where I live now we are celebrating April’s Fish Day – Poisson d’Avril! The traditional prank is attempting to attach a paper fish to the victim’s back without being noticed.

I am celebrating today and joking with a fish on my head.

I took this photo in Sète, France – sculpture by Cristina Manolagas-Rabaste.

Upon her head, a sight to see,

A fish-shaped hat, quite finny.

With scales that shimmer in the light,

And eyes that seem so squinty.

Pablo Picasso “Seated woman with fish”

At parties, she’s the talk of all,

Her chapeau makes a splash.

Yet when she walks by cat-filled halls,

She must make a dash!

For felines think she’s brought them lunch,

And leap with hungry glee.

She laughs and says, “It’s just a hat,

No seafood here, you see!”

Though fashion critics raise a brow,

And some may shake their head,

She wears her fish with pride and joy,

A trendsetter for Today!

Thank you for your smiling eyes. Happy 1st April! Have a joyful day!
