A gesture from the Jester

A simple gesture from the jester

is such good advice that it’s a ‘must a.’

For the jester is really a wise old buster

with more wisdom than you or I could ever musters.

You may think of him as just a joker,

a tramp, a bum, a no hoper,

but the Jester is really a manipulative geyser,

a true genius in disguiser.
