Everybody needs a jester
in their life somewhere
Who can make you laugh
in the midst of despair
Always ready with a story
to lighten your darkest days
And adds a little color
to all of your grays
Ready with a joke
or maybe even two
Wants to make you laugh
when you’re the most blue
For a jester can be
the best kind of friend
When your pain they see
great effort will they spend
No matter if the laugh
does come from a joke
That at their own self
the fun they must poke
‘Cause a jester often goes
all for the extra mile
If that’s what it takes
just to make you smile!

Laughter gives us joy and being around someone who can give you that joy is essential to any person. Sensational poem!
