Mr. Unhappy Clown

Well ok, I see a Clown in the picture above;
BUT my o my, somethings wrong!,
Guess push came to shove.
Clowns should be happy, Very Happy you know.
They should be so happy that even their nose should glow!

So I asked..Whats going on here,
Mr. Clown is that a tear?
Then slowly he leaned forward,
And whispered This in my ear:

He said I have lost my true love.
The one over there.
Raggedy Ann is her name.
Her heart with another, she now shares.

So I now just sit, I just sit and Frown.
My name, oh, well they just call me..

    MR. UNHAPPY CLOWN

    You are so right....Mr Clown should be happy. I am a happy clown. Most clowns are happy. But each clown plays a character...what ever chacter he is playing, is how he acts. I like your poem, it is up beat and cheerful.
    As a clown I go to a cancer ward once a week and do volunteer work. This is a childrens hospital. Every week ... usually, I go back and there is a child's bed that is empty.

    I am not allowed to cry. I get used to seeing children there.
    I get used to talking to them and their parents and brothers and sisters. I smile and read to them, and do magic tricks for them. Then one day, they are gone. I know they are not better......they are gone.....forever...to be with God.
    Thanks for entering. I really appreciate it.
