Dreams of the Fool

In the kingdom
of Amazon women
where I daily toil
I am the lovable lump...

A once proud nobleman was I ..
  
Today a slapstick jester
summoned for comic relief
who amuses the Queen
and her cackling court
for the loose change
they drop in my cup

Behind this clown's smile
is a sly serpent's determination..

Waiting patiently
for the wheel of fate to turn
and for Karma to reverse
my current bitter situation..
