Puppet Master

There is a joker amongst the court.
He sings and plays all day long.
He is full of spirits and humor,
But isn't very tall.

He is loved by all.

Alas, they don't know; 
He is not the joker at all. 
For in their comfort, 
They reveal their hand to him without fault.

He controls them all.
Each one having a part, 
In his orchestrated ball.

He is the puppet master,
Who sees all.
