Happy the Clown
His fans amounted to a plethora.
He appeared on television in Philadelphia.
Happy the Clown made watching the tube fun.
Many children considered him number one.
Some clown makeup was worn by a disc jockey.
It made him garner immense popularity.
His program aired in the morning five days a week.
Channel six was what I used to seek.
With his marching sticks and his buddy Mr. Mike,
he became someone a generation of kids would like.
Happy is but a memory of a previous day.
As so many others have, he has gone away.
