I never need to be reminded

That at times I play the fool.

Me and my side kick laughing,

As  I post a lot of drool.

 

Can't get too serious these days,

As then I know I am a fool.

Even I can't take myself seriously,

What a dope I would have to be.

 

None the less I keep laughing,

And not to the bank I go.

Just a jount around the block,

Heaven knows, there are other fools like me.

Well said. I know my role most of the time, but, when I resist it, it becomes so apparent.

This could be me. There's no fool like an old fool, right?
