Goodbye to Clowns

I hate grease paint.

Don’t color me with pretend.

Let me have an ugly cry,

not that hideous grin.

Everyone loves a clown.

Sorry, not me.

I wonder what they’re hiding,

be it a he or a she.

I won’t even laugh

at their foolish distaste.

So goodbye and be gone,

and do so with haste.
