Dopey Clowns

Clowns are usually funny But one clown that I know Couldn't even get a titter Out of any audience so Feeling very disappointed and About to call it quits He went to walk off the stage And he did the splits When he tried to get up From the floor to strike a better pose He bumped into the wall Which knocked off his big red nose He started looking for his nose His nose he could not find Then he dropped his glasses Without them he was blind He was in a dreadful state Nothing was quite clear That is when a circus flea Bit him in the ear A monkey saw the clown Performing on the stage This agitated the monkey And put him into a rage So this naughty monkey Was ready for a race And after the poor clown This primate gave chase Round and round the ring they went You may find this hard to believe A rat came out from nowhere And ran up this clowns sleeve By this time, the audience Were exhausted in their seats From yelling, shouting, laughing And appreciating the treats The clown had given them When he thought he had no hopes Tonight had taught him a lesson All the best clowns are dopes
