The Role of a Jester
The role of a jester
I readily accept
It's part of my makeup
I have no regrets
I take on the role
With gladness of heart
My reason for being
To me it's an art
An art to perfect
With each little rhyme
Finding that word
At the end of the line
A line that produces
A giggle or laugh
Like a mouse making love
To a lady giraffe
Now see how you grinned
And chuckled at that
It's really quite simple
When knowing the knack
Start with some silliness
And add the absurd
Even join 'em together
To form a new word
Rewards for your efforts
Are many my friend
You'll make people happy
Feel love without end
