No Clowns Allowed

No Clowns Allowed No clowns allowed; you’re not welcome here. I could feel the other guests starting to stare. We don't serve your kind, so be on your way. But I really am hungry and would like to stay. “Try McDoodles,” he said,” they welcome your kind, It's right down the street, and I don’t think they’ll mind Your crazy red hair and floppy clown shoes It’s a good place to eat for people like you”. Then all of a sudden, there came a small voice. “That’s discrimination,” it said, “he should have a choice.” That's such a big word for a little guy “I learned the hard way,” was his reply, Then the guests all stood up and walked toward the door, “The clown stays, or we leave”, they said with a roar, “Of course, he can stay, now please everyone Let's all just sit down and finish our lunch. The specials today are meatloaf and stew. He turned to the clown and asked, ’What can I get you?’ A big ice cream salad and pizza with honey And the owner just laughed because clowns can be funny. You just gotta give them a chance, and you’ll see That clowns aren't so different from you and me And sometimes it takes just one little voice To make a big difference when there should be a choice
