Another Day At the Circus

Onset rumor today
Brave caped clown Gizmo
Dumps awful patron
After prank ended wonky

Never short fused
Clown Gizmo flips
Zooms while zings
Crowd cheer bravo

Later Gizmo calls bloke named Ralph
Guest plays fancy prize banjo
Until roars upset crowd
Sadly trash hefty jazzy amigo

Yikes! Vexed Gizmo jumps about
While oozes funky fresh skunk spray smell!
Whack!… Shout quick rapid magic
Throw given Hocus Pocus spell

Twirl aloud again Gimme Gimme
Sweet happy jolly smile Dozen jokes aside 
Gizmo winks neath flurry haste
Saves promo story gusto style

Gershon Wolf Date: 3/26/2018 10:57:00 AM This is just so, so 'out there,' Line--and yet "right there" at the same time. Clown Gizmo is certainly deserving of a whole children's book, isn't he?! Congrats!! :) Gershon Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 3/26/2018 12:42:00 PM LOL - Thank you so much, Gershon. It's a very hard form to follow so I'm pleased with your comment.

Gershon Wolf Date: 2/21/2018 4:21:00 PM I think you've captured the happy-sad place that circuses are/were in America (and perhaps throughout the world), the clown being the perfect representative of the genus. Best wishes, gw Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 2/21/2018 6:09:00 PM Thank you, Gershon. Had fun doing it for sharing bit of humour.
