The Jester

Zany insanity, he’s a buffoon from the moon- Quipster and hipster, he’s a complicated pantaloon. Prankster gangster, tactless with madness- Wisecracker and entertainer is he fun, or full of sadness? He’s humorous and caddy, frivolous yet crabby- Gabby and a chump, a lark and real tacky. Life of the party, wears pants full of smarty- A cracker-upper, always late for supper. You may wonder who I speak of, this satirist man that could be you- He’s a practical trickster joker, from the city of Katmandu. He seems to be famous, he may be very acclaimed, he’s notorious for being a jester, and Robin Williams is his name! August 9, 2017
