Sad Clown

 

That day was sad for a Clown
he should make people laugh
as always
Suddenly his beloved father died

How to joke
and make a mad laughter

The tickets for the show
have been already sold
there was nobody to replace him
big tears were rolling
down his face

The Clown felt the soothing whisper
so he cried with all his power
and got a big ovation from the audience
The big red nose and wide pants
were shaking
His crying became a strange laughter
God wanted to help the sad Clown
who mourned his beloved father

Since he was in grief
he wasn't worshiping the audience
which called him again with applause
Just behind the curtain
he painfully cried

The smiling faces of the audience
didn't know of his grief
