Salutations to a fool

Congratulations, hurrah, hooray!
Indeed you've surely won
The game is finally over
and a what splendid win it was

You found your one “un-getable” get
And you gave her quite the run
You got the fool to fall for you
To fall not once but twice
And what a silly notion thought she
that her heart could ever suffice

Giving to you so willingly
So free and unashamed
Her truest ruby she passed to you
And watched it slip away
Knowing not what was to become
Of her faint and fragile heart
Guarding it so carefully while
you but played your part

But slowly work your magic you did
And slowly the walls came down
And finally, you could see it
The shining victors crown!
Alas you're a stunning showman
And the victor’s crown you'll wear
With pose and grace and arrogance
When through the lonely fields you tear

And think not of the broken dame
Just leave her as she lay
For in the morning they shall send some other Jester
to come carry her away
You've made a fool of her and for no reason
For what reason could you have?
