Why Did I Get sucked in Like a big fish And play with the clowns There went my rent money I'm a laughing stock at cards My life's a big circus as is The only poker I know is fun My Oh my See my face After that loss I'm at loss for words My insides are empty My wallet is emptier My hair's on fire, I need help Where is my cotton candy lady connie pachecho 1/5/23

About this poem-I thought it was witty and funny but I'll never know if the moon will ever shine. In the first stanza, the clown is knocked off his feet. He confides that the only poker he knows is fun. In the second stanza, he wants to get back on his feet (perhaps get sucked in) and muses about the whereabouts of his cotton candy lady.
