Clowns....
Clowns....
Chalk-white faces spangled gowns,
Airs and graces, capering clowns!
Noses painted (reds and browns);
Look! they've fainted; foolish clowns!
East and west, cities, towns, clap with zest circus clowns.
Speak no word - verbs or nouns.
Quite absurd, much-loved clowns.
What a fall! Smiles, no frowns.
Best of all- these agile clowns.
Daddy roars, so do the mother.
That clown score smacks his brother.
Life must bring ups and downs.
In life's ring let's be clowns!
Learn their way to make folk smile;
Dullest day, hardest mile.
In life's ring let's be clowns;
Laugh and sing at ups and downs!
