Surprise!

What is so funny, you may ask.
Why do I wear the jester’s mask?

Well, punctually, you will see,
What grand surprise so gives me glee.

It is a present, my old friend,
To make our differences end.

In that there suitcase, you will find,
A little toy that I designed.

So rhythmically its timer ticks,
Like paddles on the river Styx.

And so I laugh, but you should cry,
You have just seconds to say goodbye.
