The Clown

He wore no paint, yet clowned around.

Naught thought him funny, only himself.

The stakes are too high for fools games,

Yet a clown to the end, no circus in town.

smiling... there are always thought about
For my idea there is never any harm if
a soul wishes to be silly. Some souls need
this for their own happiness... so be it!
We are not here to impress others, we are
here to make our own self happy as long as
we are strong enough to ward off the jeers
from others :)

Love and Light

George, your work searches deeply into the reason for being a clown; to hide the great personal tragedies and pain they endure -an introspective view I will keep in my library to enjoy many times over - I wish you love and peace my dear friend - Jon Michael

They say you should never laugh too loudly at your own jokes. True clowns and comedians make us laugh forever: Laurel and Hardy, Norman Wisdom, Benny Hill.

Good humor does not a clown make. Laughter is good medicine for the poison medicine parceled out by the monied ruling ones behind the scenes and the serious face of a nincompoop with short-term solutions and convenient lies.

I say and they are preaching malarkey.
