The Clown

A banana peel awaits us all.

When we're down we start to crawl.

Except the clown.

The stalwart clown.

The clown refuses to stay down.

A custard pie into the face

Brings us nothing but disgrace.

But not buffoons.

Those happy goons.

They lick their lips in any case.

Life's a gag, at last we know.

We're part of some damn raree show.

Yet the clown,

The trusting clown,

Will play upon his piccolo.
