Once lived a clumsy, boorish fellow
called 'Creeky the Clown',
Painted masked face
and not a trace
of a Frown

but deep beneath he carried
A crippled Heart.
that hid its Sadness,
yet it danced with madness
for to make people laugh was his Art
Time flies and we get old, but what stays behind are memories of how we lived!

Dedicated to the World’s oldest clown Floyd ‘Creeky’ Creekmore who passed away at 98

"A lot of people go clear through life and are never really passionate about something,"  
"Boy, he had the passion."
his son told the media
