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.

Ha, Line. All my life I've detested clowns. I came across this frightful looking one and had to put him down. Thanks for the comments.
