Bozo the Clown

all us kids on my block rushed towards bozo's house when we saw his car pull up his yard, unmistakable with the striped picket fence always kept the curtains drawn but when he pulled up to the curb and opened the trunk we peaked in it was like light hitting buried treasure sparkling sweet as he handed it out mom said sad things go on behind the closed curtains 11/14/13
