Jester’s Creed

Laugh and the glad world laughs with you;

Weep and the sad world will sigh!

Mirth is our life’s true elixir;

It shows you’re a “regular guy.”

There’s nothing that so banishes worry,

Nor puts such a big crimp in sin;

Nor smoothes out the wrinkles of trouble,

like a jolly old Jester-mans grin!

It rolls of the years from your shoulders;

You’ll forget that you’ve grown to be men!

Your youth turns once more to embrace you;

For you’ve grown to be school boys again!

So, if you’ve got grouches, don’t bring ‘em;

Its your laugh and your joke that we need;

For mirth is the doctor of trouble,

And Laughter, the Jester-man’s Creed!
