CHILD FRIENDLY FAIR
Welcome to this grand festive fair
For the benefit of special children’s care
Highlighting their development welfare
With compassion and love’s share…
But oh my, why has it turned as a scare?
The Social worker has been invited to grace the occasion
Fulfilling mission to guard children against rights' violation ...
Thus, midst vigilant observation and discretion
She's ready to solve case on joyous kids showing terrified reaction
In a festival where prevailing spirit must be jubilation!
With clowns’ appearance in the joyous event
Showing quirks they comically invent
Kids vent-out, frightened, nervously fervent...
Thank God, they are pacified; their fears, prayers circumvent
By parents appeasing them so terrible commotions prevent!
Having worked well circumspectly
Proper authorities were called soberly
Affirming knowledge of culprits conscientiously...
It was learned that impostors are not child-friendly
Since they rob peace and order deserved by every child in the family.
The policemen then gently shout: “Don’t panic!
Calm down from being frantic!
Our fault, we didn’t screen every clown’s antic…
Since we think they’re all acts of magic
We belittle children’s mindset on logic!”
The youngsters now beam with delight
When the clowns are nowhere in sight
Having been apprehended by those who saw their plight…
What matters most is, kids are giggling with gladness' height
As clowns-turned police officers tell stories on doing what’s right!
