A Jester was going to Delos,
So he could play with his prankster fellows.
The day was bright, the clouds were plump,
But there was ol' Greyface sitting on a stump.
The Jester winked knowingly,
And he crept up to Greyface slowingly,
Before plopping down right in front of him.
The Jester smiled merrily, each tooth as bright as a gem.
"Hullo, Greyface!” He sang. “It's time for fun!”
But Greyface shook his head, his demeanor glum.
“Play is for weak, Jester.” He stated.
“Merriment for the lazy, kindness overrated!”
The Jester just kept grinning,
The thoughts he had knew that pranks were for the winning.
Beaming like a madman, he reached into his bag of tricks,
And pulled out an odd array of knacks and knicks.
Puppets, tarot cards, blackjacks,
Balloons, mice, and some odd snacks.
He finally selected an item so peculiar in size,
It even caused the Greyface to widen his eyes.
Lo and behold what the Jester had,
Was nothing but air. Is that bad?
The Jester proceeded to blow
The air into Greyface's face as he exclaimed “It's time for a show!”
Wearing his silly hat with pride,
He backflipped back and forth, his tarot deck dangling at his side.
He then produced a firecracker from his pocket,
And as soon as he lit it, it went off like a rocket!
Greyface started to smile a bit,
Knowing the day was his, the Jester unleashed his wit.
“When is an island sweet?!” He shouted to the sky.
But finished the joke “When its deserted!” before the Greyface could reply.
The Greyface was actually chuckling,
And patting the Jester on the back said “Where can I get more yukking?”
The Jester beamed “Anywhere, my friend!
Seize life's pleasures, don't let them end!”
And with a click of his heels and a doff of his cap,
The Jester was off, confident in his ability to make others laugh.
