Dopey Clowns
Clowns are usually funny
But one clown that I know
Couldn't even get a titter
Out of the 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
Meanwhile he dropped his glasses
And 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
And this agitated the monkey
And put him into a rage
So this naughty monkey
Was ready for a race
And after the 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 the clown's sleeve
By this time, the audience
Were exhausted in their seats
From yelling, shouting, laughing
And appreciated 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
