The Silent Clown

I went to the mall today I saw the clown around the corner Kids were going towards her They all came back in colors Kids are in red and blue Kids are in green and yellow Kids are in orange and purple Kids are in all different colors I walked into that corner I want to be in color too I stood there for a while Kids were in queue with their moms I waited and waited Time moved forward and forward When one kid left another one is already on line I didn't dare to join the line So I stayed out of line I watched the big smiles on the small faces Why I didn't ask her to paint me ? Why I didn't waited more time ? I left there without colors I think it is because I am not a kid anymore Before leaving I took a card from the clown Who knows I won't be a clown one day ?
