Clowning Around
If I owned a circus for you I'd play the clown (Do jugglers ever tire of throwing up? Only when they're sick of it.) or if I had a rickshaw I could run you round the town if I were landlord of a bar drinks would be on me as proprietor of a restaurant you would dine for free and if I had a row...

Sometimes I'm just a clown hanging around making others happy when I make funny sounds Jokes they tell at school that often break the rules Pretending to be something others think as cool I wonder if she feels me, looking at her back not looking for violence but some kind of attach I see her from time to time and just...

If the world is a comic laugh to you, And your costume turns you outside in; Necessity, requires you to laugh yourself, Right side out again; Remembering where you've been....

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, top and bottom And you're just clowning around If you...

Premium Member Clowning Up At the Fair
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, ten pairs of clown eyes staring at me, eye-ball to...

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 boobies and turds I amuse folks just by using my wit In...

Happy Clowning
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 the losers Happiness is the devil`s domain And the smaller...

Clowning Cures
“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 they all took their bow, after his cough was suppressed....

Clowning Around
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 broken heart that dares to hide its plight This laughing shield...

Clowning
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 costume and joy fills the room. I'm a clown and much joy...
