Middle-Pause Pump-Priming Prompt
What Kind of Fool Are You? Nobody’s Probably, but You Can Still Play Along
After all, it’s April and this is the Pump-Priming Prompt
Back in 1966, Sammy Davis, Jr. had a hit with a song entitled, What kind of fool am I?
And his is not the only one. The list is long. Here are just a few:
Fool on the Hill: The Beatles
Fools Rush In: Elvis Presley
Why do Fools fall in Love?: Frankie Lyman and the Teenagers
Ship of Fools: The Doors
Chain of Fools: Aretha Franklin
As I write this, it’s April first.
So of course, I’m thinking about April Fools. Given what’s going on in the news, I venture a guess that foolishness is not limited to one day of the year.
But we do have one day where we get to play pranks and act silly with no holds barred. Or very few.
Can you imagine if the Oscars had been held on April 1? Will Smith could have gone up to receive his award and said clearly into the mic, April Fools! Instead of looking like one, or worse.
