“I remain just one thing, and one thing only - and that is a clown.” -Charlie Chaplin (Charles Spencer ‘Charlie’ Chaplin (1889 - 1977)): as quoted in “The Observer” (17 June 1960) newspaper of London, England
Baggy Trousers
Baggy trousers
Nose, bright red,
A silly hat
Upon his head.
Squirting flower
Spinning tie,
A teardrop falling
From his eye.
Elastic braces
Going twang,
His car exploding
With a bang!
A patchwork coat
Those flapping shoes,
A painted smile
To chase the blues.
Making us laugh
And banish that frown,
The simple duties
Of a clown.

A Prayer For Clowns
God bless all clowns
Who star in the world with laughter
Who ring the rafters with flying jest,
Who make the world spin merry on its way
And somehow add more beauty to each day.
God bless all clowns
So poor the world would be
Lacking their piquant, hilarity,
The belly laughs, the ringing lovely mirth
That makes a friendly place of Earth.
God bless all clowns -
Give them a long good life.
Make bright their way - they’re a breed apart!
Alchemists most, who turn their hearts’ pain
Into a dazzling jest to lift the heart.
God bless all clowns.

A Clown’s Blessing
May your nose be red and shiny,
And your smile always bright.
May your cheeks be nice and rosy,
Your eyes sparkle in the light.
May your shoes be always too big,
Your costume be perma-pressed,
Your heart overflow with laughter,
Each time you’re clownishly dressed.
May face paint be at the ready,
And your balloons be ‘easy-blow.’
May children run to greet you,
Wherever you may go.

The Clown’s Prayer
As I stumble through this life,
help me to create more laughter than tears,
dispense more happiness than gloom,
spread more cheer than despair.
Never let me become so indifferent
that I will fail to see
the wonders in the eyes of a child,
or the twinkle in the eyes of the aged.
Never let me forget that my total effort
is to cheer people, make them happy,
and forget momentarily,
all the unpleasantness in their lives.
And in my final moment,
may I hear You whisper:
“When you made My people smile,
you made Me smile.”
