Timing Of A Jester

The Timing
of the Jester
was not
His best 
moment

As the King
Heard His
Foolish
Joke
an intention
to a Muse

Hot oil
was return
upon the
Jester's  gesture
as moments
before
the King
was given
news that
the Plague
had attacked
the Kingdom

Comedy 
only later
surfaced
when
the news
was found
to be
inaccurate
much
to the
demise
of the
Jester
