Poet's Corner: The Clown

A clown’s a frown.

You’d better face it.

And whilst you’re down

You might embrace its

Neronic smile, its love for hatred,

Its scent so vile, its mind so wasted,

Its soul so wild, its face tormented

By putrid laughter that once had graced it

With scars so deep that they’d erased its

Once human look and have replaced it

With one so warped, we all detested.

A clown’s a frown.

You’d better face it.

And once you’re down,

You’d best embrace it.
