Clowns

Enough of Them

Today was to be the Jester's big day

He knew his neck was in the noose

because the gallows are where he’ll sway

Her wish is to be entertained

The Jester danced for days

He plays the Violin

Telling stories of adventure

Monsters from the best of days

The Jester didn’t have a chance

His glow was not enough

The king drops his paper

The Queen puts down her macramé

The Jester took a fall

landing on his head.

The Princess peeks from her phone

She sighs

and waves the man away

Taking a picture of the Violin

All to remember the day.
