Notes About The Poem

The Whole World Needs a Clown

When the world is so sad
Even to the point  of being mad
The smile has been misplaced
As a frown has come in it's placed

No more happiness
Nothing but sadness
I digress
While in distress
We sing

The whole world needs a clown
When there is no one else around
He will do something funny
Take away your frown
The whole world needs a clown

No more happiness
Nothing but sadness
I digress
While in distress
We sing

The world is horribly in pain
Drowning with in it's shame
Count your blessings hold you breath
Hold your chin and head up you are blessed 

No more happiness
Nothing but sadness
I digress
While in distress
We sing

The whole world needs a clown
When there is no one else around
He will do something funny
Take away your frown
The whole world needs a clown
