Court Jester to the kingdom of the Underworld

"Amuse me wretched Jester",
The Prince of darkness bellowed-
A thousand years as ruler,
Had not his temper mellowed.

The Dupe strolled in before the king.
His face set in a sneer,
The king poised in expectancy
The courtiers quaked in fear.

Our fool, he was a wily ghoul,
His heart was black with malice.
He was a villain truth be told.
His jesting cruel and callous.

At once the Evil Jester
broke into a frightful trance.
Whirling like a dervish
In a vile, immoral dance.

He tore about the kings dark court,
And sent a fortune flying.
The king he choked and gagged and spat
Till all thought he was dying.

And when he�d wreaked his havoc,
The Jester fled the room,
Leaving behind a stench of death
And a pervading sense of doom.
