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 Submitted on February 19, 2018 for contest A LITTLE LAUGHTER FIVE sponsored by EDWARD McCALL - RANKED 2ND

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

LOL - Thank you so much, Gershon. It's a very hard form to follow so I'm pleased with your comment.

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
