Tribute To the Jester
You tango, you twirl in tangerine tails,
With ragged red’n’black blouse and shoes
Little leather flimsy flopsy boots with dinky tink balls,
Balls that ding a ling to amuse
The crowd's at the court in front of the king,
Your mandolin plays a short song,
A song that brings smiles to everyone’s eyes,
Making everyone sing right along
And then you swing your motley cap’n’bell hat,
Beaded bells all bounce to a beat
As you juggle and joke and tell a beautiful story,
Your magic’s an invisible discrete.
Everyone’s happy when you perform for the king,
Everyone loves you in town
You're the king’s street performer in red and black stripes,
His jester, his fool, you’re his clown.
Awarded 5th place in contest entry
