The Jester



The quiz I took
Said
In Medieval times
I was a jester
Today
A natural entertainer
One who can
Raise a laugh from the toughest
The quiz I took
Said
In Medieval times
I was a jester
Today
A maker of friends
One who knows
The popular rich and powerful
The quiz I took
Said
In Medieval times
I was a jester
Today
A political animal
One who can play
The diplomatic game
The quiz I took
Said
In modern times
I am an actor
Or world leader
One who is good
At getting along
The quiz I took
Did not say
In modern times
The actor in me
Like the jester of old
Masks the tears
Wears the smile
And hides the pain
