The first of April, some do say
Is set apart for All Fool’s Day;
But why the people call it so
Nor I, nor they themselves, do know,
But on this day are people sent
On purpose for pure merriment.
[–Poor Robin’s Almanac (1790)–]

….and the silly man, at 5am, glees
“And merriment shall have we!”

The Bash on April Fool’s day? Both perfect and worrisome at the same time.
