Always has a joke or jest
he keeps them up his sleeve
Putting the teacher to the test
as she's asking him to leave
Never letting the mask slip
showing who he might be
Hiding the tears and rips
growing larger, by degree
The class clown, has no power
only quips and jabs, to entertain
His face, demeanor, dour
as his dreams, go down the drain

Always has a joke or jest
he keeps them up his sleeve
Putting the teacher to the test
as she's asking him to leave
Never letting the mask slip
showing who he might be
Hiding the tears and rips
growing larger, by degree
The class clown, has no power
only quips and jabs, to entertain
His face, demeanor, dour
as his dreams, go down the drain
I was this guy.
