Silly Old Jester

They call me a silly old jester
A title I'm proud to possess
Love making people titter and giggle
Some dribble all over their dress

Don't mean to cause embarrassment
If some of you can't keep control
Numerous trips to the little boy's room
Heading straight for the porcelain bowl

Hope it's not causing mental anguish
If you soil your tighty whities
Or when you ladies start squirming around
As you sit there in your nightie

Forgot to tell you, got your place bugged
I can see right into your home
You know up there on your mantelpiece
There's a camera inside that gnome

Some consider it an invasion of privacy
But it's good for this old grey noodle
Watching you giggle and wiggle about
Having fun like a frisky young poodle

They call me a silly old jester
A title I'm proud to possess
An honour I'll cherish till my very last day
Make 'em laugh, that's my lifelong quest

"Some dribble all over their dress " Yuck...well you can't laugh with your mouth closed very well I wager. "But it's good for this old grey noodle" Lol! Keep on this quest for more giggles, Jester Jack! You're amazing. Always, Laura
