Bozo

My name is Bozo, the neighbourhood clown
Spreading happiness, a clown of renown
There's too many bad things happening now
So smile and giggle, no frowns are allowed

Us guys weren't born to mumble and grumble
So stand on your head or go for a tumble
Roll over and over, spin like a top
Jump up and start singing bout red lollipops

Hey you over there! Yes, you in the back
You're not joining in, let out a big quack
Get up and start dancing, make Bozo smile
In the happiness race, you'll win by a mile

Now just one more thing before I must go
For all you kiddies, advice you should know
Always be nice and kind every day
So Bozo will smile and send love your way!

With a name like Bozo, I guess you're destined to be a clown. Great one here. Always, Laura

I heard they took Bozo the Clown off the air when one of the kids in his peanut gallery told a dirty joke on the show. This is another good write Jack.

That is exactly what the late John Wayne Gacy was doing before he was finally caught.

Also heard bad stuff about some clowns who use their disguise as a cover for child molestation! The dregs of society I say! Throw the book at them... Jack
