Another heckler sloshes his slipshod swill
and Jester cracks a retort to fulfill
his forever tortured comedic routine
for a hit of applause-fueled dopamine

"Funny" fuels fantasy of life examined
a talent to delight others with sapid
insights into the way "things really are"
ever the comedian philosopher

But boorish quotidian inspires Jester's quick quips
as poor mental health and bad relationships
openly hide from audiences successfully amused
the lonely life joking about humor abused

Created for @terrycraft's Steemit Poetry Contest where the one-word inspiration was 'loneliness.'
