The Wisecracker

The wisecracker is going to cut you down to size before you even know it

He knows you but he is not going to always show it

Because he is the wisecracker

Wiser than wise, not even a fool

He will fool around with you and jump right in before you see it

But, he is by no means anybody's fool

He has an ace but he never uses it in the right place

He cracks jokes until you feel broke

He wins until you lose

He is the wisecracker
