This one’s different than any I’ve done before, but I kinda like it. The Joker is loosely based on Tolkien’s Thom Bumbahill (Not sure I spelled that right)

The Joker Doesn’t Laugh

He walks in

Looks around

Finds a chair

And he sits

Drops a fifty on the table

Tips his hat and nods his head

and takes his chips

The dealer throws two cards his way

He tosses two chips into the kitty to play

The flip gets flopped and with a snap

The game gets under way

Then he plies his trade

Like folks do back home

Takes his pay tells his jokes

Makes them laugh and makes them groan

Then drops his cards takes all the money and he goes

But the joker don’t go home

We all sin

Look around

Anywhere

And you’ll see

Drop a fifty if you’re able

Turn around and back again life isn’t free

So if you cross his path my friend would you please just walk away

He owns the game and every time

It always goes the same

He just plies his trade

Like folks do back home

Takes his pay tells his jokes

Makes them laugh and makes them groan

Then he drops his cards takes all the money and he goes

But the joker knows no home

And the joker doesn’t laugh

And the joker doesn’t cry

And the joker doesn’t pass

And the joker doesn’t lie

He never meets your eye

Or ever tries to empathize

Because he didn’t see you there

When he watched the end of time

In his mind your life’s burning bright

Like a firework laden July night sky
