What is this spear of mistletoe
That flies like dart from brother's hand?
Seemed innocent, a prank misfired
The great shapeshifter, fire-brand
Two-faced fool, the jester bold
Grasps at opportunities
To turn his coat, self-satisfy
And go wherever he might please
Little giant, skin so thick
Can hold the fate of all his kin
With treachery, duplicity
Behind the wide, engaging grin
ย
The class clown sits in back of class
Throws paper darts, blot paper balls
To bounce off heads of swots like me
Provoke a fight when lunch break calls
His tiresome japes, the prods, and pokes
The never-lasting friendships made
Bring only our feigned approval
Soon resigned to trusts betrayed
