I know why the joker   Doth smile and jest, And laughs so gleefully at thee.      Thy spirits, he soothes,       With frolicking moves; The way he sways is so lovely.    The cracks that he'll take   Are enough to make The dimmest and dullest of minds       Feel stricken and stabbed        With all that he's jabbed: His kicks are gained heeding your bind.    Showcases of joy,   He seeks to employ: Even if it's at your expense,       He'll take your dismay,        And cast it away! Despite his obvious offense...

Why Doth the Joker Smile and Jest?
I know why the joker   Doth smile and jest, And laughs so gleefully at thee.      Thy spirits, he soothes,       With frolicking moves; The way he sways is so lovely.    The cracks that he'll take   Are enough to make The dimmest and dullest of minds       Feel stricken and stabbed        With all that he's jabbed: His kicks are gained heeding your bind.    Showcases of joy,   He seeks to employ: Even if it's at your expense,       He'll take your dismay,        And cast it away! Despite his obvious offense...
