Mischief is my middle name
Brewing it, my avocation
I find just where it works best
At work or on vacation

You may not know it was I
That hid your pen from you
Or pulled that thread from your coat
Or put the knot there in your shoe

I hide around the corner
Waiting for your guard to go down
And when you least expect it
I can really go to town!

The keys upon your keyboard
Will be taped with double duct
Your chair tied to the desk you see
A design that I’ll construct

Your clock set two hours ahead
Your pens will be out of ink
Your phone will hold a cotton ball
Gone deaf, is what you’ll think!

But you will never suspect me
I’m innocent in my gaze
So beware of one called Ms. deVine
And the mischief games she plays

Oh... I think I am glad I didnt have to be around you yeterday LOL...
I bet you had a blast...
practical jokes on April fools..
great write...
love the impish tease of it and great rhyme flow.

It's such a clever innocence with which you show myself to me
As if you know how it feels to never be who you wanted to be

Little miss mischief
what did you do
hiding the pens
and stealing the glue
set the clock forward
now that's no fun
soon they will all have
you on the run
see here am I
grinning with glle
while they're blaming you
they're ignoring me.
