The Veil of the Joker

This man, I find him annoying, 
He’s trying too hard to laugh, 
He jokes are far too excessive, 
His laughing feels like a wrath. 
 
He wears badly planned clothing, 
To brighten an already bright, 
Is he going to jump in that custard? 
I really think that he might! 
 
His glasses don’t really suit him, 
The shoes he wears are quite bland, 
His hair is weird and off-putting, 
He’s got a strange toy in his hand. 
 
A lot of people watch him, 
They think he’s a bit of a lad, 
But hidden deep in his jokes 
Is a man who feels lonely and sad
