Comedy of Errors - Joke

JOKE


Could the joke be now on me?
Are all the sleeves so full of laughter?


It always mattered much to me,
But I pretended not to show it.


It still remains a shame,
That I never even took part in the game.


Could the joke be now on me?
Whom the Gods destroy they first make mad.


Do you mock my misery?
Inconsequential in the scheme of things.


For all that joy demands,
You could count the breaks I got on just one hand.


Find I'm reaching for the mountain that's just too high,
For the truth that turns out a lie,
For the one who makes good my escape from sorrow,,hey !
Are they saying that the joke's on me?


Over mountains below I fly,
Found the truth that you just can't buy,
Made good my escape from sorrow could the joke be now on you?
