The Joker

Upside down frown, funny bone.
Tickled ribbing, dunce cap cone.
Glib ad-libbing junior joker.
Sappy sense of humor stroker.

Class clown comic kills the joint.
Rolling in the aisles they cry
tears of laughter, blurring vision.
Hey, who is that funny guy?

Packing pranks and selling snickers.
Farting flatulent nose pickers.
Grab a grin from dins' kerfuffle
for it's the jokers turn to shuffle.

    This is pretty cute, I like the alliteration throughout... particularly class clown comic. I think the second stanza is a little out of place because it breaks the rhyme scheme for no discernible reason... I see why you wanted to keep it though, since the second stanza is rather strong. Maybe try and find a way to tweak it so it still has the same feel but fits with the rest better? Nice work.

    Effective us of alliteration and a quirky sense of style. I can see this is not the work of an amateur, it's a well rhymed and original work. Just one question, what is a kerfuffle? Sounds German, but I've never heard of it, maybe it's slang? Now you've really got me wondering Best wishes in the contest.

      Thank you for the comment and best wishes. As to kerfuffle Merriam Webster online says "disturbance or fuss"
