your archetype is a jester.

your job is the entertainer.

your place is at the end of a joke

because you're the punchline of the day.

you're as real as a paper town,

an assembly line product;

you're the wild card,

ready to replace.

but i'm the queen of hearts,

and the deck has spoken:

we only need fifty-two cards.

so please, remove the joker.

We're looking for identity

not a face to replace.

i ... dont know if it worked, but heres a poem i wrote inspired by the worst copy cat i've ever seen.

i tried card game references but i dont play many card games.
