our children
are not
the only ones
to see a clown
and begin to run

some adults
have the fear
you ever wonder
why they lear

bright colored hair
and funny make up
not so funny
when you wake up
with ten or so
surounding you
trying to grab
and strangle you

how hard would you laugh
if in a dream
your mind it woke
the clown from "it"
began to choke
i'm sure you would not
find the joke

you see them
at the circus always
sometimes near
the fairground enterance

some have not the intention to scare
others try to instill the fear

animal balloons
and baggy clothes
they look more like the
boogyman

we pay them
for a birthday party
kids are screaming
and there crying
ever wonder why it's so
because the kids
they know
it shows

kids don't know this
but heres a fact
john wayne gacy
played the act
he was not funny
not one bit
but full of ugly
and very sick

weather they smile
or they frown
there will always be
a scary
clown
