Jester's Song--When You're a Jet You're Always a Jet

Post by Lightning Rod » June 29th, 2008, 1:27 pm

I'm changing my name to Jet

much as Chester becomes Chet

Jester (which is my real name) becomes Jet

So you can call me Jet

Or if you are in the throes of passion or laughter
you can call me Jester
"Oh, Jester, Oh, Jester, you fool." and such

But otherwise just call me Jet
It has a dashing, masculine sound
it's brief

even though my vocation is to look at unpleasant truths
I need to wear glasses because of subtle self-abuse
at least I haven't done it enough to go blind
(I do have to shave my palms but it's all in my mind)

A Jester's tools are pantomime and funny rhymes
and juggling the truth and jokes
and being as charming as a child with the fun he pokes.

But you can call me Jet
and when you do it snap your fingers

Great. We have Bennie and now we have Jet. Don't tell me this place is getting all Elton John on me..

Excellent. Only a child is fit to critique the world honestly, it seems.
Nice rhythms.
