Appears in my book Ripples. Written in 1993. It's about the different people we meet during our lives.
A clown with a frown was talking to a king with a crown, when a mime happened by, and mimed to them, “What’s the quickest way out of town?” The king said to the mime “To catch a train, be on time.” And the clown laughed at the king, and it began to rain The mime grabbed his bags and looked at the king, and the clown, and mimed “Thanks, I’ve got to run.” “Was the mime on time to catch the train?” said the king to the clown. “I don’t know.” Said the clown, and again says, “Do we really need all this rain?”
