i’m a professional,
i’m very serious,
i do a job,
sometimes well,
but i’d prefer you not ask
what it is that i do,
exactly,
since i guess i don’t really know myself
Sir Cyrious the Serious was made from a very serious cloth,
he wore serious clothes and walked with a serious gait,
but what made Sir Cyrious the Serious the most serious sort
was his constant bickering of the most serious matters with a stern comport
and not a lick of irony or alcohol on his breath,
but Sir Cyrious the Serious was born of a different age,
where such matters were sacrosanct,
and nothing was seen as a joke,
but if you ever meet Sir Cyrious the Serious out in the town,
make sure to observe him with either a nod or a wink, or maybe even a stiff handshake,
but whatever you do, just make sure not to laugh, lest he chop off your hands and make a serious moment out of your levity
