Smiley The Clown — Found those clown girls today and their photo made...

This limerick is about a clown, who when shopping in a nearby town. A mother with small boys, said his giant shoe made too much noise. Shoeless he shopped while tip toeing around.

What a spectacle he likely made! He must've subsequently been the cause of much hilarity. A fun limerick, Bill. Best of wishes :D
