It’s the start of this year’s 30/30 poetry challenges, and April Fool’s Day.

Write a poem based on one of the Museum of Hoaxes’ Top 100 April Fool’s Day Hoaxes of All Time, but written as if the hoax were really true. What would the (your) world be like if it really did contain flying penguins, UFOs in London or the washing of Lions at the Tower of London. Or even spaghetti growing on trees.
