Born in half smiled drip sarcastic form took mind then was written to play out the foolish jesters? Again Jesters? who would make the court laugh forgetting the affairs of state and heart He sat quietly introspectiveness becoming calm to try the hand of muse to forget his own wan song Garish gargoyle face painted for effect lest someone see the tear that in his heart was fact he donned the robe of rags and wrapped in such poor silk felt the sting of time Might I entertain you? |

Ron, You combine the recent onslaught of Fool's Journeys, and the garbled refrain "Here we are now, entertain us." !!! Mike |

"Let me, entertain you. Let me, make you smile..." ooops....better get dressed now.  I did have a real good time, and you certainly know how to make a point, Ron... If I keep shaking my head at you? I'm gonna make that old whiplash injury start to ache, and then I shall be forced to drink to ease the pain...and then? See what you'll have made me do? *shaking my head at you*  |

Ser.... put your clothes back on!!!! I exited out after typing the note to Mike and just jumped back in before heading home... Make a point...oh...I'm just a dumb ol country boy that ain't got sense enough to make a point. Been told I had one between my shoulders.... but never understood what they all meant by that... |

Wow! Interesting poem. I like your description of the experience of becoming too superficial and forgetting the important matters in one's soul and in the world as a whole. This is a very good depiction of a person trying to keep up appearances so as to shun and ignore the real issues and problems he is fully aware of. Thanks for sharing. "If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh" |

This reminds me of a fool I love in my favourite novels... this is the same ache one sees in his character, oh yes you've written him. Trash? TRASH? Dare you refer to this as trash? I won't let you, you know.  I may even print this out and stick in the first book...any objections?  K |
