Memory

The joker
in the deck
The jester
holding court
The witness
at my trial
The voice
— of time itself

Jovial Jean jumped into a room
Mesmerizing us without her broom
She kept us entertained in every way
A joker, jester, full of merriment and play

Wet tears of defeat

                              behind greasepaint and fool’s cap,

Premium Member A Jester a Clown

He is a caricature of his Dad
A faker, imposter, jester, and cartoon
Some say he’s a scoundrel, some kind of cad.
His reputation depicts a buffoon.

Man Eater

There was young “lady" of Chester
Who not only dated a jester
But also and baker n' smith
whom she all liked to kiss 
she's known as the great man-molester

Per the emperor's request,
all must submit to a fair test.
Twenty free throws, each must take. 
The jester records how many they make.
Ten passes.  Behead the rest.

Court of Lies

In a court of lies
The jester sings a silly song 
About an abstract notion 
Called love
To a Queen that will never see him
As anything     
Other than a fool

Premium Member Jester and the Purple Hag

Jester invited the purple hag to dine.
She noticed his weird nasty ugly whine.
She gives him voice lessons.
In twenty-eight sessions.
Their partnership is delicate and fine.

Man Named Peter

There was a man named Peter
Who couldn't write a love letter.
      He watched a movie
      For a prompt shorty.
He ended up being a jester.

Mister Bean's an iconic success, sir
He's an outrageous comic professor --
  Just watch his vids on You Tube
  He fakes being a dumb boob --
Bean's a hilarious classroom jester

Premium Member Jester

Jaunty little fellow,
Joker for kings and queens.
Jolly bells on hat, shoes,
Jingle with his movements:
Jumping, dancing, bowing.
Jabs fun at all he can,
Jovial trickster man.

REASON



Reason wears a stern face
Where no jester can poke
Fiesta and wit find grace
The crime is in the joke

The Laugh of Your Smile

Every time i attempt 
 forget you ,
the laugh of your smile,
 guffawing and sounding
  on my walls mocks me,
as if I were 
the jester
the fool of life
and the circus clown... !
