Notes About The Poem

Guise of a Clown

I have never liked your phoney guise as a clown
Whose silly painted smile should be turned upside down
I'd like to put red ants
Down your baggy ass pants
And watch you dance until the seat of 'em runs brown

I looked at a lot of clown faces before choosing this one, and I don't think I'll forget any of them. Ha thanks, John.

ha ha ha Lin that pic sure is scary and the poem is hilarious. The pic reminds me one that Arthur posted on a poem a few years back. I'm so glad to see you 'clowning around' with a humourous poem after your melancholy one earlier:-) you are such a versatile poet:-) hugs jan xx

Ha ha Thanks so much for your sweetness, Jan. I guess the poems do balance each other out. This pic would be good for target practice.
