What I have so far witnessed in this life
has driven me to the idiom of the absurd
not only have I learned to laugh at things
but have been compelled to play the fool.
The privileged fool is a fool of indulgence
the popular fool is a fool through capacity
excess is by no means a proof of potency
the genius is but a lunatic with a tendency.
A wit versed comic exploits a powerful tool
the message is delivered to targets for sure
only fools dare tread muddy tracks of dread
they charge ahead when others are scared.
Jokers are the wild cards in a complete deck
often discarded, dismissed, but what the heck
they’ve the tendency of sticking out their neck
should it break, there will be no getting it back.
