Fear of Clowns
Some people fear clowns
Buried deep within
The sight of makeup
Causes them horror
Run from red noses
They are just obscene
Come from outer space
Or W. C. Fields
Look at those big shoes
Big enough to hold
More than feet in there
A clown's secret sin
That flower that squirts
Who really knows what
Steal your soul liquid
That's what he's about
He dances and grins
And thinks evil things
Deflowers virgins
In his corrupt mind
We who fear the clown
Write these words to warn
The most monstrous clown
John Wayne Gacy, sic
Now that I've told you
Beware of the clown
I have to go now
Put on my makeup

My daughter is absolutely terrified of clowns. Always has been. They're creepy but they don't bother me the way they do others. A clown faced spider now...that's another matter. This was a fun, thought provoking read. :)

I have never in my life, even as a child, been afraid of clowns. Thank you, Willow, for being here.

Yep, Steven King made that clown's face gigantically popular, although terrifyingly so, Brenda.
Heh.Heh . . . Happy you got a kick out of the end.

I'd hoped the ending would have been sorta funny . . . Glad you liked it, even though it was scary, flower.
