The Clown

THE CLOWN The entire world loves a clown, But wait until they get a load of me, Is what the faceless figure under the mask Says, heckling with laughter's haunting zeal. After the lights of the midway fade, and the Crowd's confetti is swept away, it is my turn To play! Sedition's malevolent being, lies hidden beneath A painted on smile, I'm the devil incarnate, So come along child of innocence, and we'll Have a bloody, ghouling good time, just you And I! Many props of fun time’s torture, do I possess, Chose which of these that you think is the best, I'm not picky in the least, my new playmate. Beneath the crimson big top, of fleshes canvas, I'll put on a special show just for thee, So save your screaming applause, until After I'm finished if you so please! All whom wish to join in my private Carnival of fiendish delight, I welcome Wholeheartedly, come young or old, But beware none shall leave alive, Or without missing a limb, maybe two. Here comes my brethren in their tiny Little hearse, did you think I'd not Invite my kindred on such a special Event like this. Nay they've brought their own weapons, Hatchets, machetes, and wonderful Instruments as such, why do you look So frightened, it won't hurt ####, that much. Now some may say I'm a creature of Darkness, an evil being without remorse. But really under white face's make-up, I'm just your average serial killer at heart. Whom is quit creative, in the forgotten dark arts, Of tortures insidious behavior. So next time the circus comes to your small Town remember, just hang around after the Crowds leave the midway, don't worry My friend, for I'll be hanging around just Waiting for you, no special invite needed. Signed sincerely, your friend the clown. BY: CHERYL ANNA DUNN
