The Jester
Listen to poem:
You can't fool the jester
It just can't be done
He knows you think you can
He's got you on the run
Maybe something told him
Something in his heart
It's time for his medicine
Time to play the part
He's got you figured out
He's figured out the gist
He knows without a doubt
Something that you missed
You try to think like him
What would the jester do
What does he always do
What did he do to you
You sneak around, private lines
He'll never even know
The jester has receptors
Everywhere you go
Lay it on the line
You'll never live it down
Lay it at the jester's feet
He'll never be your clown
