Accused of much silliness, it's who I am
Can't change I'm afraid, just a silly old man
Life's a big hoot
In my colourful suit
A clown like attire with a nose so grand
fingering white pages, one by
one, painted with ebonic ink.

Clouds,
Drifting
Gossamer,
Amorphously
Cumulonimbus
Botryoidal changelings
Bulbous body-building boils
Robustly rising with swelled heads
Bragging with bursts of thunderous joy
Eager to display lightning anvil crowns
Accused of much silliness, it's who I am
Can't change now, I'm just a silly old man
Life's a big hoot
In my colorful suit
A clown-like attire with a nose so grand
Accused of much silliness, it's who I am
Can't change I'm afraid, just a silly old man
Life's a big hoot
In my colourful suit
A clown like attire with a nose so grand
Accused of much silliness, it's who I am
Can't change I'm afraid, just a silly old man
Life's a big hoot
In my colourful suit
A clown like attire with a nose so grand
Accused of much silliness, it's who I am
Can't change I'm afraid, just a silly old man
Life's a big hoot
In my colourful suit
A clown like attire with a nose so grand
