A Bowler Made of Down
I’m considering becoming a circus clown
For clowns bring joy to others, it seems,
And, I shall wear a bowler made of down.
In the winter I will wear a velvet gown
From a lectern I’ll share my wildest dreams
I am considering becoming a circus clown.
Folks will ask me to entertain all around
My specialty will be inventing schemes,
And, I shall wear a bowler made of down.
For effect, I will sport a perpetual frown
I shall wear the baggiest of denim jeans
I am considering becoming a circus clown.
As a gag, I’ll make a meaningless sound
People will ask me what that noise means
And, I shall wear a bowler made of down.
For encores, I’ll say things most profound
While perfecting my entertaining routines
I am considering becoming a circus clown,
And, I shall wear a bowler made of down.
