The Clown
THE CLOWN
Painted face, and big sad eyes
A painted tear, enormous size
Large red lips, with silly grin
Huge red nose, and floppy chin
The clown remains a cherished part
Of happy times, and gleeful art
Makes us giggle and laugh with glee
Gives us joyful comedy
But why the tear so largely traced
Why the sad look upon his face
He smiles so large for all to see
Yet one can feel his misery
The tear is what , gives him away
Its always there, right to this day
Perhaps you know someone like him
Who's sad inside, with outward grin
Do something nice, to dry his tear
If only a hug, just hold him near
Its the little things that mean so much
A little wink, or a gentle touch
Wether comic, jester, fool, or clown
Be there for him, don't let him down
