Juggling Jester

Juggling Jester,

Standing on a rolling ball
Balancing emotions of life
Nearly ready to fall
Yet holding on to the hat
Of silliness and act
Slipping with a sudden roll
This witty performer
Loosing the balancing pole

Laughter and pokes
Ear piercing mimicking
Tactless booming jokes
Of the crowd
They clutch the shroud
And tear off a robe of magic
How funny though tragic
Is the fall of this amusing one

Standing ovations for works
Bountiful laughter and joy
Performing repetitive quirks
A daily definite life
Fooling even the brightest
Oh what a strife
As magic rises to the test
Performance yet at its best

No need to wear any masks
Carrying out the tricky tasks
Going a minute per mile
Outlandish juggling jester
Always with a painted smile
In a clandestine world
Dressed up as wolf but a mule
Camouflaged soul of the fool
