Why so serious?

A poem on Heath Ledgers The Joker

Why so serious
Is it my scars that make me mysterious?
My father was a drinker
He wasn’t much of a thinker.
He goes off crazier than ever
Thinking he’s so clever.
He sticks his knife in my cheek
Carves my face before I shriek.
It doesn’t hurt no more
Isn’t this a face you can adore?
No longer had I looked serious
To others I looked mysterious.

Tell me what do you see
What are the colours on me?
Green is seen in my hair
Its all natural I swear.
White is my war paint
Please, don’t fall into a faint.
Red is painted upon my smile
It can be seen from a mile.
Purple suit is what I like;
It’s what I wear when I’m going to strike.
You can tell me what you see
Now that you know the colors of me.

I had a wife beautiful like you
Who said I was always too blue.
She told me I should smile more
But instead went to gamble to the core.
Gambling Sharks came for their money
I felt sorry for what they did to my honey.
They carved her beautiful face
So I carved mine in the same place.
So do I look mysterious
Why so serious?
I got my knife in place
Let’s put a smile on that face!

Thank you. I took inspiration from both of them but its more directed to Joker himself

I must admit, I don't know much about the joker, I didn't watch the movie either lol but you made it sound interesting and awesome flow and rhyming. Well done.

Thank you so much. The Joker is a fascinating and deep character that is too much fun and can never fully understand him no matter how far down the rabbit hole you try and dissect him
