“The Circus Clown”

• The circus came to down
They had monkey, elephants and a clown
Chimps with funny cloths
Ducks and rabbits aligned in rows

• I heard of trumpets and trombones
And goofy actors with necklaces of bones
I heard they have a parade
Trainers in masquerade

• I heard of chimpanzees juggle
Magicians hiding bunnies in snuggle
But the best of them all
The clown so tiny and small

• With a red cute little nose
And a horn it goes and blows
A funny mask to cover the face
A goofy disguise to disguise the inner trace

• Monkeys gibber at him
He feels down and dim
Yet his face always goes to smile
And moving so versatile

• Funny how people come to laugh
As he slides down the giraffe
Tumbling with the bears
Jumping over the broken chairs

• But inside he holds a mystery
Bittersweet agony and misery
What unfolds behind the face?
Tears and sobs hid in a case

• Fake smiles come to fold
The pale face so cold
Funny acts cover sadness
Turning it into gladness

• He goes to goof and play
Jump and sing all the way
Audience crack up in laughter
But he cries and weeps thereafter
