born day of the jester

the jester still sings
twelve x thirty-five
even as he turns
seventy-five
wonder what his days
look like his nights
filled for decades
with live music
and amazing musicians
might not be moving
as fast might be napping
on the tour bus
before the show
just keeping up his end
of the bargain
the one that pushed him
fifty plus years ago
to take that trip
down the long lonely road
filled with all the riches
you could ever desire
lyrics expose the truth
treasure buried beneath
the blues he's been brought to
in his own style
the jester reaches a milestone
another year older
on this rainy day
at twelve x thirty-five...
