Court Jesters Rhyme

Why waste my words

on those with none

oh how absurd

the fun in fun

Go three steps back

and turn around

take what you lack

put head in ground

Poke out your eyes

and try to see

past your disguise

then talk to me

Shove foot in mouth

for good this time

no time to pout

you pantomime

sorry gestures

still wasting time?

flies to pester

court jesters rhyme

You silly fool

you little clown

go back to school

keep your head down

Or dance for kings

a jokesters dance

the canary sings

of lost romance

A trickster soon

will you become

you poor buffoon

where now the fun?

Just dance and spin

look, now clearer

you harlequinn

within my mirror

I'll set you free

pathetic pawn

broken glass spree

oh wait, you're gone...
