Tall tales, quips and songs of one fine clown
Were spread to moors and dales all around

Balls, wolves and trees he could juggle
While moving to and fro without struggle
He could make you laugh on a battlefield
As you try to survive by being concealed

So one king called him to his fort
And introduced him to his court
He looked around with a thin smile
Maybe it was worth going the extra mile
He swayed the crowd on the first act
By the end he already signed the contract

Oh, it's not that easy to act like a fool
For their existence can be rather cruel
But never respected nor truly befriended
Especially if the fun is unintended

He had the audience in the palm of his hand
He was both thespian and a one-man-band
Whether they saw a simpleton or the knave
Guffaws and cheers hit like a heat wave

Then he sealed his fate by provoking
The king's counsellors in big charcoal cloaking

It ain't easy to act like a fool
When you crave for the taste of misrule
Unlike knights that fight and save
Jesters are not awarded for being brave

They buzzed around the king's ears like flies
Ale, and tittle-tattle mixed in with lies
And in his wrathful mood he sent his guards
Who apprehended him to with no regard

It was a matter of time before the sword fell
And everyone present damned him to hell

Oh, it ain't easy to act like a fool
When you mock those who rule
Slights, real or imagined, turn into rumours
Not tolerated by hooded men with no humour
After the execution, none saw him arise

Dusting his body off, he escaped his demise
He picked his own head and brushed his face
Few witnessed him stride outside at even pace

Some say he'll be back when most needed
In times where laughter won't be unheeded

Oh it's not easy to act like a fool
Making powerful people drool
Jokes instantly become conclusions
That may crack into grand delusions
