Surely You Jest
What happened to Jacuniad,
that great dog I kept beside my
golden throne?
A grey and black brocade
a backdrop for a serenade,
little jester in the round,
a talisman
by lovers bound
come here and soothe
my fevered brow
I cannot save the world
right now.
too many runes to figure out
come sing some songs
you silly lout
I love the way your
bright hair curls
come take some rubies
take some pearls,come,
say you love me all the time
come make me up a happy rhyme
they say "My Kingdom for a horse!",
but I propose a better course:
my kingdom for a jester grand,
who sings a song,
and holds my hand.
