Three funny guys, Curly, Larry, and Mo Slapstick comedians, you all must know But there are three circus clowns Who create mayhem and frowns The crowd calls them Corny, Hairy and Schmo Corny thinks he's the wily ring leader Acting as if he's a Walmart greeter Talking like he's really cool But people laughed at the fool Gobbled by the lion called 'Man Eater' Hairy can be a bear when in pursuit Got his name from being very hirsute He was threatened with a shave If he refused to behave He bit off his tongue and now is a mute Sad has become the life of flunky Schmo He feeds peanuts to monkeys in the show Since he lost his two friends Finds himself at loose ends Three circus clowns; each one was a bozo

This picture was meant to be scary, and obviously, I found one with Hairy, front and center. I've always detested clowns. Wrote a poem some time back about them painting on their faces when they're upside down. This poem was a must write after having a conversation with Mark Toney.

I tend to avoid clowns so I hope I don't know them... I've never liked clowns or painted on smiles/ A bunch of crooks with a lost list of 'philes/ A door policy needed/ When warnings are not heeded/ All for forgiveness but this lot need trials

Knowing them and knowing of them are two distinctly different things. I have never liked clowns and never will. A door policy is a great idea as long as it keeps them shut out. Thanks for commenting, Dilly.
