Class Clown

by Jonny · Published 1st May 2026 · Updated 5th May 2026

Everybody look
It’s the class clown
Star of the show
Love putting others down

You must pay attention
“All eyes on me”
Centre of the world
Got his own gravity

Immersed in himself
Star of the show
Ego on steroids
Trumpet must be blown

Yet it’s always at
Someone else’s expense
Easy pickings
Never any recompense

Only focused on self
Never time to pause
Hidden cuts and bruises
The harm he’s caused

But when tables turn
It’s a different story
True colours shown
When things go awry

Suddenly it’s no longer
An excuse to party
Mask unveiled
A clown turned beastly
