Coulrophobia

I had been to the circus
And I had been to the fair
I had even seen clowns on T.V.
They were always funny and entertaining
How could anyone be afraid of clowns?
I didn’t think Coulrophobia was real
But after having a few bad bosses
Those clowns have changed my mind
I saw them fumbling and bumbling
They told stupid jokes
They did a poor job of juggling things
Obviously promoted to a position
Above their competency  
They were the jokes
Daily I was forced to watch them
Running around like clowns on fire
Which was at once,
Kind of funny and kind of sad
But now I have Coulrophobia
