Coco the Clown

Coco the clown went sailing one day to a holiday destination far far away Suddenly, the sky went dark and the wind did blow and the waves beneath his boat did grow and grow Coco lost his oars as the winds blew and blew and he paddled his way with a size 50 shoe                                                                Through his telescope he saw an island far away in the distance and he made it to shore with his skill and persistence A group of locals met him as he sailed onto land with necklace of bones and spears in hands   They carried off Coco to a waiting stock pot with vegetables and seasoning and water boiling hot   Poor Coco the clown was simmered to perfection they shared out the meat after careful dissection   They sat down to dine and after having a chew one said to the other “does this clown taste funny to you?”

Dear Mr. Mac: In my copy of "Reflections...." I mark those pieces I want to revisit with a check mark. Only two pieces received multiple check marks as something special. "Coco the Clown" is one of those! I love it's sharp humor and easily read poetry. Best - Ken
