The Jester
he wears a jester’s apparel
in rainbow stripes and bells
tells you not to listen to the voices in your head
he’s in the corner now
with his thumb up in the air
a rictus grin upon his face, faking laissez faire
the little clown, see how he whirls
his words around his baton
displaying his inanity while spitting titty venom
admonishing philosophy
he spews a puerile mind
a naïve mess of bitterness, stupidity and bile
Plato would have chained him up
within a shadowed cave
kept him there for forty years then let him out again
then he might see the différance of Derridean thought
that comedy can only work
if thinking is of import

Hey thanks everyone - appreciate it :)
Phil - what would you change about it? How many more syllables? I've just read through it again and it seems fine to me?
Andy - glad you liked that :)
