• With a laugh the joker leaves
    leaving behind the little fleas
    known as the greatest of his race
    began your highness, and left your grace.

    But the joker is the wisest of the rest
    knowing that life is an endless test
    an uncertain game, of laughs and masks
    hiding a frame of endless tasks.

    And so he grins
    the show begins
    with dancing, laughter, music, joy
    unaware that it's just a shadow's toy.
