Hysterical Blindness

The blind clown came to entertain,
But he had problems getting to his act.
He kicked away the juggling balls,
And left the bubbles jar intact.

With arms outreached,
He couldn't find his riding horse.
He stumbled and tripped and fell alot,
As his oversized shoes went off course.

He then tried to balance a plate,
On what he thought was a stick.
But it was a magical wand,
That turned his balloons into bricks.

Turns out that the crowd laughed a plenty,
As his bufoonery was a many.
