This limerick is about a clown, Thought he’d do some shopping in town. He scared baby boys, His shoes made such noise. So shoeless he shopped all around.

The shoes of clowns are exactly like this. They love motley dresses and shoes! Quite interesting!

Bill Baker

Thank you, my friend. Clowns can be eccentric, funny and scary to some. Have a great day, Valsa! Bill

Looks like Ronald McDonald shoes…lol! In order to stay “squeeky” clean, he must remove his shoes. On Halloween, I stopped for gas, and no kidding a “clown” was pumping gas…well I guess they need a ride too ;)

Bill Baker
Date: 2/9/2024 9:34:00 PM

LOL, I guess so. They can be really helpful at the rodeo. Have a pleasant weekend, Kim. Bill

LOL, yes, some people that certainly were acting like clowns. We clown around sometimes ourselves sweetie. Thanks for the comments on my poetry, Sara. Hugs, Bill

Love the Limerick Bill. The clown’s happy smile soon turned upside down - It hurt his feet walking shoeless in town - It made the boys sigh - Girls began to cry - To cheer the dears he walked with hands touchdown.….. Beryl

Lovely finish to my limerick, Beryl, made me happy to see your ending to things. Have a pleasant weekend, my friend. Bill
