Best Clowning Poems

I remember once dating a clown
In the sack he was such a let down
He was missing one ball
And his todger was small
It’s no wonder that he wore a frown!

I suppose I’m a poetic clown
I’m content with life, I don’t get down
And I’ll deny the rumour
Brits have no sense of humour
This injustice will sure make me frown

I confirm I’m not much of a poet
My writing style sucks and I know it
I use silly words
Like...

An impotent circus clown called Billy
Tied balloons to the end of his willy
To his great surprise
His todger did rise
But his girlfriend just thought he looked silly!

Here lie the remains of Ethel Brown
A circus clown from County Down
She’s buried wearing her red plastic nose
‘Twill be the last of Ethel to decompose!

Just clowning around
so try not to frown

 ———

In living this life
I’ve made mistakes
hard it can be
but here’s my take

Grow a backbone
don’t lose heart
be kind and gentle
friends never will part

Eclipse with love
those you hold dear
cause they will not be
evermore near

Search for small miracles
everyday
Give of yourself
And of...

He thinks to prevail the existence as haze over
And makes his own beau geste 
A spirit of ingenuity revived peerlessly 
And makes the reality to indite a blue story
That appears to be enjoyable. 

This exemption from reality 
Just like he masters his own way
Others may...

The smile that hides the lost tears of a fool,
Her laughter cannot see the eyes that cry;
A jester played and playing it so cool,
With tricks to send the merriment up high.
Behind the scenes away from her and sight,
The saline tears are free to flow again,
A...

Contrary to what I've been recently spouting
You can sometimes actually see this guy frowning
No one's always happy
Sometimes I can be ratty
Keep the baddies at bay by constantly clowning

“Today we will practice
medicine and cure the flu.”
The clown announced it twice,
just as a fun thing to do.

He went into the laughing crowd,
and found an unhealthy fellow.
Took him by his hand and avowed,
“By humor, health will grow!”

The clown was right, although,
the ill man was embarrassed.
But...

The boy was only four years old
but he’d watched Scoobey Doo
Seen them chase many a monsters
who’d escaped at the zoo.

The October sun was soon down.
His parents day was through.
His Mom had hand sewn his costume
SHE thought he looked real cute!

The boy was only four years...

Seem funny to say ,I like being me,
and when the time comes
My mask makes me free
I like to dress up in crazy old clothes
and wear white makeup and a big red nose.
to enjoy the facade 
seems rather odd.
But its healthy expressionate living
I put on my...

Every one who was anyone 
was there, at the fair.
Smiling faces, filled with thrills.
Games of luck in side-show alley
knock-em down, hoop-la, darts and quoits.
Drop colored balls into laughing clown heads 
swinging from side to side, mouths agape begging.

But all those eyes seemed to follow me,...

The Clowns 

Happiness has an empty centre 
It is thoughtless as the surface of the moon
A passing cloud
A hindrance towards contentment 
Brutal and sadistic 
Totally self-centered 
A smooth tool to hide hatred 
The denial of other people’s right 
Smugness of the winner 
Making fun of...

We're so underappreciated
  You'd think we're in-laws
Yet without us you could have
  The most powerful set of jaws

Yet it'd be nigh impossible
  To chew, eat or swallow
If you dared pose for a selfie
  You'd make sure not to smile

We're your Teeth,...

Clowning With Downing

Again around all us poets were clowning;
What a wonderful poet is Akkina Downing;
Poems are all viable,
And highly reliable;
Were left laughing and not found frowning.
