unfunny clown

I'll tell you the story of Cloony the Clown

Who worked in a circus that came through town.

His shoes were too big and his hat was too small,

But he just wasn't, just wasn't funny at all.

One day he said, "I'll tell this town

How it feels to be an unfunny clown.

And he told them all why he looked so sad,

And he told them all why he felt so bad.

He told of Pain and Rain and Cold,

He told of Darkness in his soul,

And after he finished his tale of woe,

Did everyone cry? Oh no, no, no,
They laughed until they shook the trees...

      And while the world laughed outside.

Cloony the Clown 
                            sat down 
                                           and 
                                                       cried.
